More quotes by Brian McKnight
I was brought up to be a gentleman. That means you know how to walk, talk and dress the part.
Brian McKnight
I was probably six years old when I first sang before an audience.
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
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 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.
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
I've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.
Brian McKnight
I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.
Brian McKnight
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
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 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 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.
