Brian McKnight
I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.

Brian McKnight

Brian McKnight
Music used to be essential and meaningful, but now it's disposable.
Brian McKnight
I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.
Brian McKnight

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 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
Everything I have now is so real, so vivid.
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.
