If we don't love ourselves, tell me, how can we love somebody else?

I've programmed myself musically to come up with love-feeling tracks that are romantic, sexy, but classy, all in one. And that's the challenge. Once I create that music, then the lyrical content starts to come - you know, the stories and things like that.

I want America to know that you can't believe everything you hear, and nowadays, you can't believe everything you see.

I just want to touch your soul, let me pour into you. Fill you with my joy, and make you feel brand new.

My mother always told me if you write about life, you will always be in the game. Just don't write songs write life. I decided to take her up on that.

If you're gonna tell your life story, you gotta be honest, or don't do it.

Once I started singing, I didn't have to try to be cool. I was just one of the coolest guys around.
