More quotes by Brian McKnight

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
I've always been serious about music. After you've done it for so many years, you get back to the basics.
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
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
Every song that I've done is me in one way or another.

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've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.
Brian McKnight
Being a musician, you want to be able to do the hardest stuff there is. People would think it's classical, but in classical, it's all on the page and the difficulty is keeping up with the music.
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
Music used to be essential and meaningful, but now it's disposable.
Brian McKnight

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 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
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'm never satisfied with what I do.
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 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
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
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
