“I was 10 years old when I first heard Ginuwine. I remember being at a ...” — Leon Bridges Quote

I was 10 years old when I first heard Ginuwine. I remember being at a friend's house, and the music video came on. I was just like, 'What is that?' I was just kind of drawn from there.

I got tired of depending on other people, and I had this strong desire to make music of my own. I decided to start writing my own tunes and just see what could happen.

The first time I shared my music and style with my mom, she said, 'Boy, you look like you came right out of the 1950s.'

I've always had a great work ethic, even when I was washing dishes.

I like to wear short-sleeved collared shirts and high-waist trousers with shiny shoes. And at night, when I'm playing, I'll often wear suits. But it started with my uncle's vintage clothes.

I actually think actors both are drawn to playing real-life historical people and are terrified.

I'm always drawn to stories that people don't know about, particularly when they're inside of a story that everyone knows about.

When I was young and didn't know any English, I was drawn by the energy and power of foreign songs and their melodies.

I'm drawn to dreams.

I'm always just drawn to those roles that present one way and have many other things going on underneath. It's just more fun to play as an actor.
