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.
My father said "If somebody hits you, then you hit them back harder." That's the nature of the black family.
Wasn't nobody ready for internationalism. I don't think we should have started the tour in America. We should have went straight overseas.
I feel that the simplicity of life is just being yourself.
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.

I could really care less about what they think about me, but at the same time, I do have something to prove.
I'm staying focused and clear about what I want in life, and I'm going to get it, man.
Well, in order to become a grown man, in order to become significant in my family and significant in my children's life, I had to learn my lessons.
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.
