People are going to misinterpret some of these songs and I think that's kind of cool.
Whatever people exist who would actually look forward to a new album by me might be a little put off by this one.
I really don't and I don't know how many years I've been making records, 17 years or whatever, I don't think I've ever picked a favourite.
I had been working on this album for quite some time and I actually signed with EMI/Manhattan prior to the Grammy win.
It don't mean nothing til you sign it on the dotted line.
I'm now so keenly aware that I have everything to prove and nothing to lose.
Take a good look around and you'll find people trying to mess with your mind.
I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.
Too caught up in me to see, I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given to me. I'll try and show you each and every way I can, now and forever, I will be your man.
Doing my own album provided me the opportunity to say whatever I wanted.
I saw your smile and my mind could not erase the beauty of your face.
I have complete freedom, and there's no way to get pigeonholed or bored. What could be better than that?
I fell off stage and bruised some ribs. The worst part was that the audience didn't realize I was gone.
I think I do better when things are a little tougher.
