When artists try to do a whole album by themselves, the songs start to sound similar.

I get scripts sent to my house every day.

I love Finland. Finland is where Santa Claus is from.

Oh, Finland, I miss Finland.

Music is alive. Music is organic. Music is an expression.

When we were creating and expressing ourselves, it was different from the traditional R&B. The same way that the Jackson 5 was different from the traditional Temptations.

We just feel like whoever is doing music, they express themselves the best way they can from what they know.

We showed up and showed out for our very first holiday album.

I wanted people to realize I was different from the first time they met me.

I'm so happy they're not calling me Dru anymore. Cause Dru Hill is really four talented guys, and if it wasn't for Jazz, Nokio, and Woody, I wouldn't be the artist I am today.

I never, ever wanted to be a solo artist.

My roots stem really deep in the urban community.

I want each song to be a different experience.

Hopefully, you know, I can finally get to the big action movie which I really want to do.

Often, with my uptempo songs, people get the misconception that I'm a rapper or something of that nature. But a song like 'Dream' shows my vocal skills.

No matter how many times people say I'm like this or that artist, it never sticks. Slowly but surely people are going to start to say, 'He's something new,' and I hope they also say I'm something good, too.

I disguise a few things in my songs. You know, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. There are things in my songs that are edgy, but the way I say them sneaks me past the censors.

I don't think everybody knows this, but 'Saturday Night Live' is the one you wait for. So when they called, I knew I made it.

I used to get cracked on as Puerto Rican.

Women all around the world express themselves in different ways.

We're so hungry for the superstardom that the Spice Girls or the Backstreet Boys have, that we're willing to do whatever it takes, work as hard as it takes, to get that.

People who are underprivileged build more than just character.

Life is too short to hold a grudge.

I don't care if tomorrow nobody likes me. I know my talent is real.

I don't want to be predictable. I got a million rabbits in my hat.

As an artist, it's always good to have some sort of magic involved in what you're doing.

I thought that once you get success, your job was the 'Robin Hood' situation.

A lot of the time people say my music is ahead of its time.

In the music industry you have to catch the right quarter. It's like double dutch.

When it comes to my business, I'm a tough guy. If I don't like what I see, it's gonna change.

I've been shot at. I lived in the hardest 'hood and the best.

I'm not afraid of nothing.

The music industry has changed so much.

Music is alive and as an artist and as a musician, you want to do the best you can to grow with music.

On one hand, you want your peers to continue to respect you as an artist, you want people to buy the music, but you don't want to, quote/unquote, sell out. So I've been doing the best I can to walk that line of creativity and trying to sell the music.

The kinds of things that business partners want you to do to promote your music - a lot of times, it takes precedence over the music itself.

Fudgery Fudge was a minimum-wage job that we had in Baltimore before we got into the music industry, where you make this candy and sing songs simultaneously.

I'm a heterosexual male.

It isn't about being or not being a thug. It's about being real. I think that is how street respect is earned.

I've always been a fan of magic. When I was younger, I dabbled in it.

Most of the time you have to have that three-part harmony structure while the other person is singing lead. Sometimes our harmony is so intricate, we might have to stop singing lead to make sure the integrity of the harmony is there.

My life is the best.

You don't know who you are until you are on the chopping block.

I want everyone to know that no R&B artist can touch my skill.

I will sing anybody under the table.

I want to try as many different things as possible.

I'm the man. Usher cannot touch me. He ain't even close.

I called it 'Unleash the Dragon,' but I didn't exactly unleash the dragon. I kind of held back, mainly because I felt an obligation to the Dru Hill fans to keep a sound alive that myself, Nokio, Jazz and Woody created.

I know what I have to do when I go into the studio.

I'm not crazy or anything, but I'm so into my music, I assume the role of Dragon and that's why I said 'Return of Dragon.' It's the whole persona. It's the music as well as myself and the energy all conglomerated together.
