What they’re saying

“That is a million-dollar question right there. You look at the bigger picture of why you're all there and then try and focus on that. A lot of times, people at the workspace don't want that to come home with them. They're not friends once you leave the office building. You can be cordial — 'Hey, how you doing?' — but that doesn't mean you know them outside of work. It's possible. It's definitely possible. But love in the office? I'm not the type of person that feels like it'll work.”

— Method Man (BOSSIP)

“Boundaries are a real thing. How will it affect the space that I'm in? How will I show up different?”

— Kelly Rowland (BOSSIP)

“I would choose our new song, 'Complicated,' because that's exactly what it is. Their situation is complicated. Their hearts are complicated. Their thought processing is complicated. People are complicated. Situations are complicated. Relationships are complicated.”

— Kelly Rowland (BOSSIP)

“But I like 'Complicated,' that's a good one right there.”

— Method Man (BOSSIP)

“Behind the scenes, that's my dawg right there. Period.”
