More quotes by 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
Everything I have now is so real, so vivid.
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
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
I kinda went back to that period between '88 and '94 where I felt like I was the most creative, without being hindered by powers that be. I was no longer going to try to hinder myself to what I thought was going to be on the radio.
Brian McKnight
Stevie didn't use the technology to drive the song. He used it to enhance. I use the tools to further my work, I don't use my work to further the tools.
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 just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that.
Brian McKnight
I've worked with jazz artists, country artists, classical artists, pop artists. I never wanted there to be categories, because when I was a kid there weren't.
Brian McKnight
You know, most of my career I wrote about moments in time. All of us have felt one thing or another and it didn't last very long. Now I'm drawing from real experience. It's a huge difference.
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
My fans are the best in the world! They've grown up with me and stayed with me through this entire journey.
Brian McKnight
I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.
Brian McKnight
When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.
Brian McKnight
I'm not thinking about what needs to be on the radio. I'm not thinking about anything other than - I'm just going to let this music come out of me and not have any sort of preconceived notion of what I should do. I'm just going to do it.
Brian McKnight
I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.
Brian McKnight
Back in college, when I got kicked out of school, I was still in school, I'd just written the song that got me my record deal. If I hadn't gotten kicked out of school I wouldn't be where I am now. Three months after that, I got my record deal and the rest is history.
Brian McKnight
For me able to do the records I want to do and not have to worry about this producer or that producer or that trend, I'm not really interested in that.
Brian McKnight
I've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.
Brian McKnight
When somebody shows up and they believe in you, it makes all the difference.
