I never put myself in a box. I like to have various different types of songs and different genres and situational songs. No matter is going on, I have something for that time or era.

I feel that when you have a passion and you are real, you last throughout the ages and you're able to reincarnate your artistry numerous times.

I can't be passionate about something that I don't understand. In my music, I feel that's why people can connect so well with it because it's all honest.

Love and heartbreak is something that's always been a part of me.

I'm connecting and that's really what any artist wants at the end of the day which is to connect with their fans and supporters.

I feel like pain is the quickest way to relate to someone because everybody has been through that and everybody has had a heartbreak.

Every time I hit the stage I try to take something from it. There are a lot of shows and opportunities to be seen like that. I like to just take all of them and allow them to help me build.

I'm one of the artists that even though I love my soulful stuff, I love to turn up and have a good time and that's another side of me. As long as it doesn't veer away from who I am, I'm down with it.

When you have somebody who takes their craft seriously, you don't have to babysit them and be there all the time.

Everything I do is about setting up for the next. I think that my confidence and belief in myself as well as the music and trusting my judgment of my songs really grew the most.

When she found a place of her ownand packed her bags he asked her to marry him. She kissed him, and quoted in his ear, "He married a woman to stop her getting away, Now she’s there all day.

Your right actions might hurt someone, so if required apologize for your right actions, but don't stop taking right actions.

To Hear What Silence Is Saying, You Must Have Inner Peace. A Violent Mind Can’t Understand It....

Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.

You need someone to love, and something to do that you enjoy, and something to hope for, and that's enough for me.

Chemotherapy is a good thing even though it kills healthy cells. But we still hope for something better. We'd like to prevent cancer in the first place.

Every viewpoint is a view from a point.

The Russians could not have had any impact whatsoever on voting in America, either how they were cast or how they were counted.

I still remember discovering the classic rock station when I was in high school and being totally blown away by it.

People assume that 'The Expendables' is old school, but it's only old school because that's the way I know how to make an action film. It's pretty real.
