There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.
My TV ain't HD, that's too real
I'm extremely compassionate, loving, all of those warm fuzzy things, but the outer shell doesn't project that all the time.
Don't feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.
I know that we sin but I do believe we try, we all try.
What do you think my brain is made for? Is it just a container for the mind? This great grey matter, Sensei replied what is your woman, Is she just a container for the child? That soft pink matter
As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.
I've always wanted to make a career in the arts, and I think that my only hope at doing that is to make it more about the work.
Being singer/songwriter implies versatility and being able to create more than one medium, and R&B artist is a box, simple as that. It is 'that's what you do, that's what you are', and that's a little unfair, to me, because I don't just do that. So I like singer/songwriter because it allows me to move a little bit more freely.
I'm about being the best.
We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way.
I don't fear anybody... at all.
I don't have any secrets I need kept any more.
The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.
