I am very conscious of what I say and do when I go out because the media is quick to make that a story.

There is a fine line between assertiveness and being relaxed.

And it's not a finger-pointing issue to me; I take as much responsibility as I can. It was more just me not really knowing what I wanted to do and how to get it done.

I would love to be like a Brian McKnight. Shoot, I'd love to be Brian McKnight.

There are a million things I can think of that I would I want to do. Reporting like you, would be one. A talk show host maybe, also. I want to do a lot.

They look at what's more important, like subjects to help with the SAT's, etc. They miss that music is vital. It offers a break from a stressful day of science and math and it's different.

I've been working on something, just some jazz, relaxed stuff. It will be standard, just piano and voice. It started out as a fun project for me though, I'm still not sure about releasing it.

I'm very new to the industry. I'm not on the Billboard 200 and that is alarming to me. But when I sat down with my management they said it's not a big deal and that it happens all the time.

Even though other people wrote my songs I put my stamp on them. I have a connection, but there is no truer connection than an artists and their own song.

For the second album I look forward to doing a lot of serious collaboration and taking the experiences I've had over this last year, good and bad, and working it into the album.

Either positive or negative comments are good because it shows I am still relevant.

Life is a series of events and sensations. Everything else is interpretation. Much is lost in translation and added in assumption / projection

Wanting to cry doesn't mean you can.

Two languages in one brain? No one can live at that speed!

Waiting taught me, I can't have it in my way. But in God's way.

The solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind.

DiCaprio left the party with 20 women? I did that in 2012!

I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.

I've got too many of my friends that retired and went home and got on a rocking chair, and about a year and a half later, I'm always going to the cemetery.

Where there is a living memory of struggle, they have a living memory of the rebellion. Where there's no struggle afterward the rebellion is forgotten.
