In life we all go through different situations that cause you to reflect. I had the opportunity to be married to a wonderful person. And for some reason two good people couldn't make a good thing work. But in life, the one thing that I love about being an artist is that you can sometimes use the pain that you go through to make beautiful things.

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

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

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

I just never let anything bother me, man. I know myself really well. Nobody's opinion of me can shake my opinion of myself.

If you eat good, you feel good. I would encourage every body else to do the same.
