A lot of times with my more up-tempo music, I try to take the approach of a hip-hop artist, but when it comes to imaging, I've been following the pattern of Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Madonna.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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."
