Music Shouldn't Be A Chore Or Feel

Lately I've Been Going To All These High Schools Talking To The Students, Answering Their Questions, Listening To What They Have To Say. It Has Been An Incredible Journey To Be Around Them And Try To Give Them What My Mother Gave Me.

Being On Set Is A Hard Thing. A Lot Of People Are Like, Oh, You Get To Make A Movie, And It's All Fun. But The Reality Is, It's A Lot Of Hours. It's A Lot Of Reshoots; It's A Lot Of Waiting. And You Can Become Increasingly Agitated By The Amount Of Time That You Are Waiting. But That's Real.

When I Sing, I Have To Live In That Moment, So My Audience Can Feel That. That Is My Reason For Doing Art.

I've Been Around The World And I've Had Bras Made In Different Places, And Each Time I'm Experiencing The Same Troubles: The Painful Shoulders, The Underwire Cutting Into My Flesh.

I'd Been Told That When You First Put Your Feet On African Ground, You'll Be Hit By A Feeling Of Overwhelming Understanding, Like You've Returned Home And Suddenly Belong. Quite Frankly, I Didn't Feel That.
