I got to keep moving, I've got to keep living and I've got to keep working.

For me, I feel like if a woman doesn't find me attractive 'cause I'm taking care of myself, then that's not the woman I want.

I'm very critiqueful of my own stuff, and I kick everybody out the studio when I'm singing, no one is in the studio, it's just me and the engineers, no one else in the studio when I'm doing my thing.

Once your motivation is killed, it's kind of hard to revive it and bring it back to life.

If you're talking triple threat of a writer, singer and actress, that would probably be Beyoncé. If Aaliyah were still here, she and Beyoncé would be neck and neck.

If it sounds good to me and I hate my voice, so if I'm willing to listen to my voice over and over again, it's a hit. Guaranteed it'll be a hit.

I think the legacy I'll leave on music is just an artist that went out here and gave 100%.

I want a woman that wants me to take care of myself because truly, that tells a lot about you. And if you don't take care of yourself how can you take care of a woman? How can you take care of kids?

Is there any more Room for me in those Jeans.

I always loved music and I always loved to perform, and that's my favorite part, to perform; my favorite part is not the studio, I can't stand the studio.

That's what I try to do, my wife and I, we try to, not shelter them [kids], but still not contribute to the delinquency of a minor.

Conflict is just another chance for agreement.

Some days are better than others. The same can be said about people.

Without the incense of heartfelt prayer even the greatest of cathedrals is dead.

It's a question of methods. Everybody wants results, but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done.

If the foundation of faith is not embedded in our hearts, the power to endure will crumble.

You have to offer sort of an evolution visually and do things like you've never seen before, like a fight between two men in a toilet on an airplane which was very exciting.

Re raising kids: Love, without discipline, isn't.

All of the very important events in my life happen by chance.

All of my clients have athletic or curvy, healthy bodies.

Fans are the best. I'd do whatever for them.
