Brian McKnight
I grew up in a time where anything was possible.

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

Brian McKnight
I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.
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
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 kind of hate the fact that people are always trying to put you into a category. I hate walls, and I hate boundaries. I don't like that. I listen to everything.
Brian McKnight
I hate the pigeonholing that's happened in the music business in the last 30 years.
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
I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.
Brian McKnight
There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.
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
