Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.

When will we ever learn, there's nowhere else we can turn.

I'm a songwriter, and people will tell you the greatest stories about their lives, whether you want to hear it or not.

My first love, you're every breath that I take, you're every step I make

I always like to challenge myself. I never want to be put into a box.

By growing up in Alabama, I had a melting pot of the whole pie: R&B, gospel, country.

I just like people. I'll hold a conversation at a gas station. It's not about the fame and the fortune, I just like people.
