I grew up in a time where anything was possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

He knows I rip him off every day. He's the godfather for me. Nobody can say they aren't influenced by what Stevie Wonder has done.
Brian McKnight
Image
I've always been serious about music. After you've done it for so many years, you get back to the basics.
Brian McKnight
Image
My fans are the best in the world! They've grown up with me and stayed with me through this entire journey.
Brian McKnight
Image
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 song that I've done is me in one way or another.
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
Image
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
Image
I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.
Brian McKnight
Image
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.

I was brought up to be a gentleman. That means you know how to walk, talk and dress the part.
