“My mom was very religious. She might have let me buy records, but I as...” — Leon Bridges Quote

My mom was very religious. She might have let me buy records, but I assumed that she wouldn't.

One time, when I was about eight, these guys started throwing water balloons at me. That really did ruin my summer.

I'm totally open to exploring different types of music. I just have to always remember to be true to who I am.

I want people to see an honesty within me. I'm not trying to be the next Sam Cooke or Otis Redding.

In the beginning, I was so inspired by the music. I had the option to make something modern with classic undertones, but I wanted to make something that was exactly like that old sound.

I'm challenged to races. Never a stranger. I've had a good friend of mine who, to be honest, is tiny and, like, should have assumed that I could have beat him, that I'm faster than him, and then crew members, two different crew members. I'm 3 and 0.

What bothers me and hurts me is the fact that people assumed I was a bad mom.

I'd always assumed that by 40 I'd have at least a modicum of stability - a steady income, an established career, a bountiful fullness, like a pillow into which I could sink as I entered the second half of my life.

I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.
