I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do, and I’ve hurt myself by hurting you.

It is a strange thing we do, blaming ourselves when people hurt us, but we all do it.

I'd really like to make my first movie before I make my next album.

It had elements of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday and little horn pieces. The way he combined that, I was like, ?Hmm. I bet he would get where I?m trying to go with this record.? It was taking a chance. God knows if he would even do it because it was kind of his first time, I think, even venturing into the ?pop? world. I knew that it would be a different and new thing for him.

I watched the MTV Video Music Awards every year, telling myself that one day I'm going to be there, and it's like, finally - I made it!

I feel so fortunate to be 22 right now and having three [grammy awards] under my belt, which is amazing.'
