The internet has really messed everyone up. It has its ups and downs, but for a music artist it's a killer.
Ginuwine
You don't get any mixtapes, you know, 'cause I don't like my voice in there. I want to be that, but that's just not me, you know. And I'm very impatient if I don't do it right, I'll be like, well, 'Ok that's the best I'm gonna do it.' Because I feel like if you take too much time on something, you lose the motivation for it.

I'm not going to listen to the hottest Hip Hop station in my city because that's not where I'm at right now. I'm going to listen to the smooth jams of the 90's and early 2000's. That's where I am and that's where my audience is.

You're your worst critic, and I don't like the way I sound on the mic.
Ginuwine
I just don't like my voice in the studio, and I just don't like the studio, I'm not a studio-head. And that's why you don't get so much material from me.
Ginuwine
It's probably easier for rappers as far as a respect level. 'Cause with singers, the powers that be tend to feel that we're stupid.
Ginuwine
Everybody has their own little thing, but I don't do that. But my wife might take care of my nails or something, but I'm always groomed, I'm always, making sure I smell good.
Ginuwine
Wear that cologne, shave your face, shave your head, cut your nails, you know...take care of yourself.
Ginuwine
One reason is because I was not being recognized the way I thought I should be recognized, so I stopped putting so much into what I was doing 'cause I was like 'Oh they don't care about it anyway...'
Ginuwine
I don't allow chivalry to die, on my part, but as far as guys taking care of their woman, and, making sure that it's not all about self, it's about giving, and how a lot of guys don't groom themselves, how a lot of guys don't take care of themselves.

I got to keep moving, I've got to keep living and I've got to keep working.

I think the legacy I'll leave on music is just an artist that went out here and gave 100%.
Ginuwine
If it sounds good to me and I hate my voice, so if I'm willing to listen to my voice over and over again, it's a hit. Guaranteed it'll be a hit.
Ginuwine
By the grace of God alone, I was able to still focus, when it was time for me to do my job, and I think I've done it pretty good, and I know I can buckle down even more.
Ginuwine
I never set out now to get a Grammy, or get an American Music Award, but it still is nice to be recognized.
Ginuwine
There's something about that suit, he'll feel like, 'Whoa,' he'll feel like a different person, and that's what it's about.
