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
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
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
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 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 was probably six years old when I first sang before an audience.

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.
Brian McKnight
I'm not thinking about what needs to be on the radio. I'm not thinking about anything other than - I'm just going to let this music come out of me and not have any sort of preconceived notion of what I should do. I'm just going to do it.
Brian McKnight
