I'm one of the artists that even though I love my soulful stuff, I love to turn up and have a good time and that's another side of me. As long as it doesn't veer away from who I am, I'm down with it.

I feel that when you have a passion and you are real, you last throughout the ages and you're able to reincarnate your artistry numerous times.

I never put myself in a box. I like to have various different types of songs and different genres and situational songs. No matter is going on, I have something for that time or era.

When you have somebody who takes their craft seriously, you don't have to babysit them and be there all the time.

Everything I do is about setting up for the next. I think that my confidence and belief in myself as well as the music and trusting my judgment of my songs really grew the most.

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.
