“I've played English a number of times, and used an English accent a number of times, so it becomes a little bit of an obstacle course to go, "Oh, that's teetering into Captain Jack-ville," or "This is teetering into Chocolat or Wonka." You've got to really pay attention to the places you've been. But, that's part of it. That's the great challenge. You may get it wrong.

“For me there's insecurity when you're releasing an album because you spend all of this time working on that one thing and then once it's done, it's done. After you put it out there to the public you never know which songs are going to work or even if the album is going to work as a whole so there is a little bit of nervousness around predicting what the numbers will be and if it's going to be well-received.” IfsKnowsWellsLittlesDoneWholeSongBitsNumbersOne ThingLittle BitAlbumsInsecurityGoing To WorkPredictingNervousness Author:John Legend

“The biggest issue for me is whether large numbers of Americans can begin to think that government can actually help make the country a fairer place. And that's partly a matter of policies that achieve results in terms of reducing inequality and raising middle-class and working-class incomes, which have been flat for decades. But it's also symbolic and rhetorical, it's whether Hillary Clinton can - or whoever's president - can persuade Americans that it's happening and that they can begin to trust their elected officials a little bit more and their institutions of government a little bit more.” ThinkingLittlesHas BeensCountryMatterHelpingGovernmentBitsPresidentTermResultsNumbersClassIssuesMiddleAchievePolicyLittle BitHappeningsInstitutionsClintonDecadesIncomeInequalityOfficialsMiddle ClassFlatsWorking ClassReducingSymbolicLarge NumbersRhetoricalElected Officials Author:George Packer

“When [Bill] Clinton came along, it sort of moderated a little bit, but Clinton had a different device for breaking unions called NAFTA [North America Free Trade Agreement].
