“This album has longevity. One reason is versatility. There's a record for every situation from the club to the hot radio joint -- all of the songs have the feeling of a format that fit into radio, live performance, video, all of it.”
“This is truly about learning the business side, ... You're not going to learn it all overnight, but maybe, just maybe, you'll learn enough to change your life.”
“I was anxious to get back on the field after missing two weeks, ... I was real hungry. I just wanted to play. I was just trying to do my best to help the team.”
“[Usher, who serves as a writer/producer on the project, contributes one song.] I didn't want to take all the light, ... (US acts) can hold their own. They don't need me on all their songs.”
