• And I just pray that god gives me longevity in the music industry.
• I don't want to be a one-hit wonder.
• Because I gave myself - I left school after the second semester of my junior year to pursue a career in music. and I gave myself five years to make it and I made it in three.
• But I also live to perform and I've been performing my whole life, whether it's been in sports or you know in band or with my singing.
• You can be confident and secure and know that you do a good job at what you do. But you don't know to be arrogant about it.

• I am a product of the public school system and I had a lot of friends involved in gang activity.
• We've been a family for 10 months. It's going to be difficult for us to split apart. But we're all grown people and we have our own responsibilities to take care of.
• I just want to make good music that, you know, appeals to all people, man. I want to branch out and you know just have a lot of multiplatinum albums.
• Everybody in this competition is a winner. I don't think there's too much difference.
• The schedule is really crazy and the fans are sometimes kind of crazy, but other than that it's been - it's been cool.
• I like doing theaters. I like being up close and personal with the fans. It's really cool.
• I think I look good. I think I look real good.
• I'm in the process of brainstorming with my marketing team and all that stuff, trying to come up with a concept for a late-night restaurant for people in Birmingham.
• We became somewhat household names really quickly, within a matter of - what? - three, four months. So it's hard to get used to, and it's really sometimes hard to understand.
• I just never let anything bother me, man. I know myself really well. Nobody's opinion of me can shake my opinion of myself.
• You know, Simon he's an artist representative, but Randy and Paula actually were in the industry as artists so they had, you know, the information that they offered to us from their aspect.
• You have to learn that if you start making sure you feel good, everything will be okay.
• All of them had so much to offer us as far as, you know, knowledge in the music industry, and especially Randy and Paula because, you know, they've been artists.

• It has been wonderful, man. I've enjoyed every minute of it, and God has truly blessed me, so I can't do anything but be grateful.
• You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
• People just take your kindness for weakness sometimes, and that's just the bottom line.
• Yeah, I'd go sleep and I'd have my headphones on in my sleep. I would just always dream about being on stage and people cheering and screaming.
