05/30: Janelle Monae on Creativity and Individuality
Tom Murphy of the Denver Westword's Backbeat blog has an interview with Janelle Monae that talks a lot about her creative influences and her beliefs on individuality.
In some interviews you've encouraged people to be individuals. What do you mean by that, and how would you encourage people to do so?
I just want people to love themselves. And I want people to seek out love. That's all. To be an individual. I can't tell people -- that's just going against it, like, "People need to be this." That's not what I'm here to do. All I'm saying is that we all have to live in the world together. Consider your brother and your sister, consider your neighbor, consider everybody's feelings. That's all. It's not just your world.
