Every song that I've done is me in one way or another.

Everything I have now is so real, so vivid.

I just do what I do and hope it's accepted by the public at large. It's different from when Marvin Gaye and Stevie revolutionized what music was 25 years ago. Now there's all this technology that's available to everyone. It's tough to be ahead of anyone.

When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

I started as a writer and when I sent my demos out everyone wanted to know who was singing and if that person wanted a record deal.

I just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that.
