I let down my guard and my heart was as good as gone.

People get out of music what they want to get out of it, and all I try to do is do the same thing.

Sometimes I think as an artist you tend to go toward the heartbreak and the sadness because those are the deepest and heaviest emotions you can pull out as an entertainer and as a singer.

I think the best thing, or the greatest thing my girls have going for them, is having their mother as a role model.

Most of the time I ask, "Why have I forsaken God?" I look at myself and ask that question when probably the better question is to say, "Where are you God, and I'll let you in." Instead of thinking that you've abandoned God, push yourself in the other direction like, "God, how can I get closer?"

Look deep inside the eyes of a woman, see the man you want to be.

Five years ago I figured we were at the top of our game and that was the best it was going to get, but with every album it seems to keep on building on itself.
