More quotes by Brian McKnight
Everything I have now is so real, so vivid.
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
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
The guy comes up to the plate, there's always a chance where he can get a grand slam and everybody forgets about all the times he missed.
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've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.
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 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.
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
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'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.
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
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
By 17, I had a whole band that would go in and play. It was called Spontaneous Inventions, after a Bobby McFerrin album.
Brian McKnight
Music used to be essential and meaningful, but now it's disposable.
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
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 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
I hope at some point in my career when my name is mentioned, someone will say Oh yeah he has a good song! I'd be happy with that.
