My philosophy on writing a song for myself is that I always, always, always want to write a song. I always want to write a song. I realize that as a record producer or a singer or whatever I might not, if I recorded on myself or someone else, the first time out I might not give it the right treatment, so that the world or many people will accept it and it'll be a public hit, or anything like that.
Smokey RobinsonI love hearing my music, I love hearing it by other people. I hope it will always be played.
Smokey RobinsonBefore you ask some girl for her hand now, keep your freedom for as long as you can now. My Mama told me, you better shop around.
