More quotes by 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
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 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
Music used to be essential and meaningful, but now it's disposable.
Brian McKnight
When somebody shows up and they believe in you, it makes all the difference.
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 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 was probably six years old when I first sang before an audience.
Brian McKnight
I've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.
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 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
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 was brought up to be a gentleman. That means you know how to walk, talk and dress the part.
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
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'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music.
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
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 went back and listened to the first three albums I made and tried to figure out what was special about them, why people keep going back to them. I think it was because I didn't know what I was doing. I had no idea if they were going to play it on the radio or anything. All I did was write songs, so that's what I got back to.
