The essence of being a gentleman is to understand the way you're supposed to treat a respectable woman.

I watch cartoons the way most adults watch reality-TV shows.

I feel there is always room for good music. I want to reach people's soul with my lyrics through whatever vessel God chooses.

I probably wouldn't be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing, I didn't like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own.

Sexy as she wanna be and she dancing next so close to me. I said please excuse, you steppin on expensive shoes.

I feel like everything is inspired by something else. There is no 100 percent original thought.

I honestly don't feel that it's my music that's under-appreciated. I think that it's me that's under-appreciated. As an artist, period.
