ADD QUOTES
- John Legend: (revealing he would like to collaborate with Paris Hilton) I bought her single Stars are Blind. I thought it was a great song and should have done better even than it did. I'd do a song with her. It would be an interesting experience.
  Edit Share Hide
- John Legend: I think I'm happier, not just because of winning Grammys and selling records, but because it's really fulfilling to have all these things happen with something you love to do. To have the chance to see your music be elevated and to have almost universally positive response to that music, makes me feel better every day. I feel more confident and inspired, and that's fun. I'm feeling truly creative and I'm hoping that feeling will stay around, because my hope and belief is that most people are down to grow and explore with me.

- John Legend: (About his album 'Once Again') I want them to hear that I've grown. That I'm trying to take them to new places and to be excited about that. This album is an expansion more than anything else. I'm trying to be me and embrace all the parts of me that have grown up, listened to more music and soaked up more influences. Get Lifted was me then. This is me now.
