Trevor Jackson

“There's nothing better than to work with somebody who appreciates you as an artist.”

“I've been given the tools necessary to be a great musician, a great entertainer, and great person that's gonna inspire everyone.”

“Before I started writing for myself, I was writing country records, and they were coming out dope.”

“I totally respect fraternities.”

“I can't see myself doing anything else. I feel like I can touch more people with music.”

“Don't ever silence your morality to be a part of anything.”

“We're always evolving. It forces us to grow.”

“I can't be around someone who is negative because I am such a positive person. If you are mean, then we don't speak.”

“When you say 'R&B,' people's minds automatically go in a place. How about I just say, 'Here's a tape; you can check it out on iTunes. You tell me.'”

“You take the job, you learn from it, and you move on.”

“When I'm acting in TV or movies, I'm a character. But when I'm doing music, I'm Trevor Jackson.”

“Every time I'm ever in L.A., if I have anytime off - which is rare - I'll go straight to the basketball court and play. That's a way for me to escape and get my mind off everything. I'm so competitive, so if I'm playing basketball, all I'm thinking about is winning.”

“Girls... they test you, and I don't like that. I don't get it. They do things, and then when you respond, they get mad. It's so confusing, I can't even explain it.”

“I've been trying to sing for a long time. I didn't realize that's what I wanted to do until I was about seven or eight. I tap danced since I was three years old, and that's all I did.”

“You can't be afraid of rejection. That was one of my problems when I was approaching girls: I was always afraid of what they were going to say to me.”

“I think purpose is the most important thing because once you understand that, everything else becomes easy.”

“I like a girl who can be a girl but also ready to play basketball.”

“Whatever I'm doing at that moment, I try to only focus on that because I'm already ADD.”

“There is no point of doing anything if you're not going to do it all the way.”

“I feel like we sometimes let our emotions and anger get in the way.”
