I won't tell you about the love that happened when I was three years old, but I can tell you about my first marriage.

There was one man who was interested in the color of music, the connection between light and music, and that was Einstein.

I conceived of an instrument that would create sound without using any mechanical energy, like the conductor of an orchestra. The orchestra plays mechanically, using mechanical energy; the conductor just moves his hands, and his movements have an effect on the music artistry.

I love the pioneers like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but when I write music, it comes out in my own way.

I came from the South with a mother who was hard working, so I love going to work every day.

A lot of R&B cats are doing a lot of auto-tune. Tyrese went back to the basics. I love classic soul music and Ginuwine. Ginuwine and Usher laid the foundation back in the '90s. There's no one doing that anymore.
