Is making music the path to immortality?

I think it is. If we're going to go really deep, we're all trying to live forever. My music is my way of doing that. You know, I want to be the biggest star in the world, but I also want to maintain the soulfulness. I don't want to lose my mind or my humor. I want to be a pop star, but I also don't want to be a pop star. I won't name names, but I will never act like some of the current pop stars have acted toward me. We can be friends, you know? We can. It's not a competition. There's space for all of us. There's always space for good music.

So you won't name names in a negative way. What about the reverse? What current pop stars do you admire?

Taylor Swift is amazing. I sang with her in London once but didn't get to properly chill with her. Then, at the American Music Awards, I got to sit down with her and chat. She's a role model. I really respect her. And she manages to sell a lot of records and make a lot of people happy financially, but also to keep that soulfulness, that honesty.

Anyone else?

When I met Mary J. Blige and Chaka Khan, they advised me and helped me. Mary still texts me to this day, making sure everything is okay. It's taught me a lesson. If I'm here in twenty years' time, knock on wood, I'll make sure anyone I meet who's just starting out, I will sit down and offer advice and help. Because what people don't getâ€â€and I hate being like, "Poor me, poor me"â€â€is when you get what you've wanted for a long time, it's like going through a trauma. People don't realize. They think, "What are you moaning about? You're getting loads of money now!" But it has been traumatic for me, because where do you go from here? It goes back to being an icon, because that's something you're going to strive for until the day you die. It's good to have that. It's like an untouchable dream.

Stop the drama start the music sammyboy.

And don't talk to much about your personal relationships with famous people.

God bless you and your songs. Go listen to some old songs and let them heavily inspire your new work. :kisses:
