I am comfortable with anything I sing: jazz, gospel, classical. It doesn't matter. I can do it all.

I never want to try to be a spokesperson for health and wellness because I most definitely am not the most in shape person in the world.

I feel like my unwillingness to look for healthy options now is the reason why I have put my weight back on. … Everybody knows how to diet, everybody has had their shares of ups and downs of yo-yo diets, but the hardest thing is to learn really how to make this a lifestyle that you can sustain for the rest of your life.

I just want to make good music that, you know, appeals to all people, man. I want to branch out and you know just have a lot of multiplatinum albums.

I've been blessed because there are a lot of great singers out there that didn't make it past their first album.

And I just pray that god gives me longevity in the music industry.

I like doing theaters. I like being up close and personal with the fans. It's really cool.
