You can't listen to what people who aren't musical have to say. When Anytime was released, I had bad reviews, and at first I was hurt. Your songs are like your children. You don't want to hear, 'Your kid is ugly.' But I knew the record was good and it would sell.

  • -- Brian McKnight 布莱恩·麦肯奈特

你不能听那些不懂音乐的人说些什么。任何时候发布的时候,我的评论都很差,一开始我很受伤。你的歌好像你的儿女。你不会想听到‘你的孩子很丑。但我知道唱片很好,会卖出去。
