I'm saying, that just kept, messing it up for everybody! And then everybody on your team doesn't have that drive that you have.

If I'm nominated [for Grammy] I would love to win, and get up on the stage and just say thank you. It would be a great closing, for me, a great closing to a great career.

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 think the legacy that I'll leave is just a great entertainer, and that's what I want to be remembered as, a great entertainer.

I never set out now to get a Grammy, or get an American Music Award, but it still is nice to be recognized.

I just go in the studio and do what I love to do. People will be people, they'll come and go, they'll like you then not like you, I just try to stay true to myself first and that's what most important because that way when you are successful you can stand up and say look, I did it my way and I did it the way that I wanted to do it.

I think certain people may make it to sexual; and then others will offset that with the depth of R & B and all of its substance it has to have, in order to be called R & B or, known for an looked at to be called R & B and I kind of straddle the fence on that one because in my earlier years I was the 'Nasty Man,'.
