Whatever your calling is as a service, follow it - that's beautiful.

If you have a debt issue or credit card issue, start dealing with it. If you have a tax issue, don't just say, 'I'm not going to file.' There are ways to deal with these things, but you must communicate with your creditors, whether it's a credit card company or tax department.

Here's the deal: I believe - and I attempt to live my life this way - we all have more time than we think we do. We all waste so much time.

Intimacy can be about holding someone's hand. It could be about stroking their hair.

I say 'date potential.' The reason why is no matter who you date, anyway, five years from now, you're going to be different, and he's going to be different. The key is to really find somebody that you can grow with that you can change with, evolve with and that you can be partners with.

We're living in a time, unfortunately, where, you know, a lot of young men, particularly young men of color, being raised by single mothers. And their mothers so desperately want to connect with them, but I found, in talking with a lot of young men, that sometimes it's difficult.

For me, self-esteem-building and confidence-building is the foundation for anything that we do, whether you want to be a writer, a painter, or a entrepreneur.

My father, obviously, and my mother were inspirations. My uncle, Frank Harper, he was an absolute mentor for me.

Men and women can absolutely be friends, and that's what we need to be. Part of the problem is that we aren't friends enough. Our relationships are negotiations, and that is not friendship.

The real important things are kindness and a sense of humor. I've been fortunate to have dated and could have easily married women who have those qualities, and time and circumstances didn't work out. Timing plays a big part.

What's interesting is with a lot of the work I do through my foundation, the 'Manifest Your Destiny' foundation, we really encourage people, and we attempt to empower, uplift and inspire people to live out their dreams, live out their destiny.

I've read a number of relationship books out there. A lot are written towards women.

I will not reach my full potential as a man unless I find my partner.

I work out a lot, and I had to control my diet to be fit.

When my father is happy with my music, I know I have done something good, and there is no question of generation gap.

When I sang in 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne,' I never imagined the song would be such a rage.

I relish tea, but I am not an addict. Twice a day is fine.

Satish Kaushik has a knack of coming up with very good remakes.

A lot of planning goes into ensuring that every project becomes a super hit.

With 'The Xpose,' the main challenge was to create timeless melodies. The thriller is set in the '60s, and we didn't want the songs to sound dated.
