I can make beleive I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see that without you in my life is complete.

You can't really put a time limit on how long someone will grieve.

In America, there are some artists who are more of an image than music; if your star status goes down there, you're finished.

When I say R&B is dead, I'm pretty much saying the creativity is gone.

Back in the day, even if they were singing about the same things, each artist was unique. That's why I try to stay away from the big-name producers, so I can prove that it's not about the producer, it's about the artist. A lot of R&B artists have gotten away from being artists and are just chasing after the next hot producer and it all starts to sound the same.

I have to apologize with one of my album because I called it Unleash the Dragon but I didn't really unleash - I kind of stayed in the Dru Hill vernacular, and that's why the album was so ballad-heavy.

I come over here and a lot of people are like, "What's with the new hair?" I'm like, "Y'all must not have been looking - every album, I change."
