I think I look good. I think I look real good.

I'm racing against me. As long as I come across the finish, I'll be okay.

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 feel as if I've been able to do so many things I never expected to do.

I don't like to be a preacher or anything, but the one thing that I've learned is that you truly are what you eat.

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

Because I gave myself - I left school after the second semester of my junior year to pursue a career in music. and I gave myself five years to make it and I made it in three.
