My father said "If somebody hits you, then you hit them back harder." That's the nature of the black family.
We're so used to seeing beauty outside all around us here. I want everyone to come in and see the beauty inside these artists' souls.
I feel that the simplicity of life is just being yourself.
Wasn't nobody ready for internationalism. I don't think we should have started the tour in America. We should have went straight overseas.
As far as what people will expect, I think people tend to read into things too much. Everybody's thinking that I'm hardcore, but that's an image.
The right make-up tools are as important in getting the look you want as the actual make-up itself.
Deal with me as a man. I'm not disrespectful to anyone who's not disrespectful to me.
The business has changed so much that they're able - we're able these days in the music industry to be able to control our own destiny.
Whitney and I have fun reading the newspaper sometimes. You'd be amazed at the places they say I've been.
I look forward to putting out the new CD and doing the television performances to show everyone that B. Brown is back. In fact, I never left.
I like being in control of making all the major decisions pertaining to my projects. That's something that you don't get to do in a group. Everything has to be voted on - every minor decision.
People want variety and something that is affordable.
In the beginning, the media was calling me a bad boy all the time because of the way I act and feel onstage. None of them have ever taken the time to get to know me when I climb offstage.
I could really care less about what they think about me, but at the same time, I do have something to prove.
