I'm going to always rise above the doubt that may exist about me.

Nobody is gonna love you like you. You're gonna be your best salesman.

At the end of the day, I got to live my life for my family, for my children, and I'm going to do what's best for them.

Danger is ever-present in life, more for some than others.

Everyone has something to sell. The greatest thing you can ever sell is an idea or talent.

I love BET and I love the fans.

I'm an 'in the shower' or 'in the booth' kind of singer. I can sing, but I need either nobody to be able to hear me, or for me to be able to redo it.

I'm an honest, open father.

I've learned that one thing about my life that is certain is trouble.

I, myself, I am not interested in reality television; just me, myself, speaking.

It goes without saying that it's hard to attain a certain level of success.

Man, I'm a conspiracy theorist by nature. You can't experience the federal penal system and not be somewhat skeptical.

To expect for me to be one-way every time you see me is to expect me to be a one-dimensional man, which I've never been. I've always applauded my efforts to be diverse and multi-faceted.

You know, when I put out records that may not work or connect with the audience, it's because I'm pushing myself as an artist creatively, because I'm just bored doing what everyone wants me to do.
