Women wanted to be viewed as equals to men. So men were like, 'You wanna be viewed as equal to me, then open your own damn door.' But I still don't view it as an excuse to be an a**hole.

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

If you believe in yourself, it doesn't matter what others might be telling you is impossible. It's all up to you!

I always refer back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the Rat Pack. Back when everyone wore a suit because that's what it was to be an entertainer. You were stylish and you were fly, and it was an effortless fly.

I pride myself on being the type of artist who can work half in the R&B world and half in the pop world.

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.

I don't want to call myself a perfectionist because perfection is imperfection.
