More quotes by Brian McKnight
I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.
Brian McKnight
As I've gotten older, now I've really got to back that up with record sales. Anytime showed me that I could still have some of those elements I wanted, but you still have to come with hit after hit after hit.
Brian McKnight
Every song that I've done is me in one way or another.
Brian McKnight
I've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.
Brian McKnight
I started as a writer and when I sent my demos out everyone wanted to know who was singing and if that person wanted a record deal.
Brian McKnight
I've always been serious about music. After you've done it for so many years, you get back to the basics.
Brian McKnight
I listen to all kinds of songs. There's something to be learned from every type of music and from the one making it, whether it's pop or jazz or hip-hop.
Brian McKnight
You'd hear Willie Nelson, then Earth, Wind & Fire, then Chicago, then Billy Joel on the same radio station. Nowadays, everything is compartmentalized.
Brian McKnight
I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.
Brian McKnight
I am a writer - that is what I am before being a performer or musician. I love waking up in the morning and then going to sleep that night with something that did not exist.
Brian McKnight
I grew up in a time where anything was possible.
Brian McKnight
I watch my contemporaries, and they love to live in the studio and I don't. I have a life. I treat it as a 9-to-5. I try to create something new every day, and then I get on with my life.
Brian McKnight
Being a musician, you want to be able to do the hardest stuff there is. People would think it's classical, but in classical, it's all on the page and the difficulty is keeping up with the music.
Brian McKnight
I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing.
Brian McKnight
I'm not like a legend that - so I'm sort of in the middle in this sort of gray area where, you know, I'm creating music and I'm not saying there isn't an audience because there is because all of those people go out and spend $80 to $150 on a concert ticket.
Brian McKnight
Every little kid that steps on the court or the field has aspirations to go pro. I think being a pro basketball player is the best job. The thing I had to realize was that I can't do every dream that I have.
Brian McKnight
The hardest thing to do in this business is to still be around. When music changes, when labels' resources have dried up, it becomes harder and harder to continue to make a living at this.
Brian McKnight
I used to play pianos in bars. You know in hotels, you'd see guys playing piano with a snifter? That was me, with a painted-on mustache. I was about 15.
Brian McKnight
My fans are the best in the world! They've grown up with me and stayed with me through this entire journey.
Brian McKnight
Everything I have now is so real, so vivid.
