The performing part of it, that's what I live for. I've always told people that's what I was born for. I believe, with the proper things around me, and everything I need as a performer band, and all that kind of stuff, I still feel to this day there's no one that can touch me. Still.

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.

We need to show how we really are and how we really are is that I'm the Dad, that's the Mom, these are the kids. This is how you respect us. It's Yes Sir, No Sir, Yes Mam and No Mam. We don't see a lot of that on TV, so I just want to give an example and show examples on how a family should be versus how families are portrayed on T

Everything's a 360 and that's what's so funny about life now, and they're right at that age and I have teenagers now, and I'm like 'Wow I remember when I did that.' Aint nothing new.

I always loved music and I always loved to perform, and that's my favorite part, to perform my favorite part is not the studio, I can't stand the studio.

I think old school TV shows helped in raising your kids and helped in the way things should be done. Now you just see kids disrespecting their parents, you see kids cursing and all kind of things that shouldn't be done.

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.

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.

Wear that cologne, shave your face, shave your head, cut your nails, you know...take care of yourself.

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.

My drive is still cool, it's not like how when I first began. I don't think anyone's drive is the same.
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'm the kind of cat that can finish three songs in a day. Two or three songs in a day. If my voice is up to it and I feel up to it, I can finish two or three songs in a day.
