I feel like I put it together better than anybody else. I don't feel like I'm the best dancer. I don't feel like I'm the best singer. I don't feel like I'm the best looking. I feel like I'm the best at putting it all together.

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 just go in the studio and do what I love to do. People will be people, they'll come and go, they'll like you then not like you, I just try to stay true to myself first and that's what most important because that way when you are successful you can stand up and say look, I did it my way and I did it the way that I wanted to do it.
