When I am doing music, I sometimes become over-compulsive to ‘always make some new music. I think I am like this because I sense what others are perceiving me as. If I work extraordinarily hard because of these expectations, I will, but I just cannot produce the good music that I want.

I want to say it to so many people, ‘why you have to be so serious?’ And I also want people to think ‘this kid has really gone crazy’ when they see my performance on the stage. Luckily, I am able to achieve all of these.

When I am making music, I am growing at the same time, ain’t I?

I think a business guy is different from an artist. They walk different paths. Artists create the best outputs when they’re having fun. And when a good business partner supports them from the side, it creates great synergy. When someone’s trying to do both, I think the music gets bad and the business gets bad, too.

I’m the type of person who commits to the fullest to whatever I’m doing.

I want to have daughter, and if I do, I want to make sure she learns ballet.

I’m very proud of Seungri. I worked over a year for my album, but one day YG told Seungri to make an album and he made one in just 2 weeks. Ah, maybe 3 weeks. He’s a true genius. I’m jealous of his propulsion.

Seungri sounds mournful while T.O.P has a masculine and husky voice. My voice is thin, just like when I talk.

We’ve been proud of the fact that we were known for our music first and it has been what makes us work harder.

Korean people, including me, want to go faster and faster — in music, in fashion, in art, too.

We always focus on the quality of music because as long as the content is good, then the interest will be there.

I think the confidence that I have right now is something that was created by the fans who love me.

I’m not even sure who I really am sometimes.

Just like anyone else, I want privacy at times, but I understand that I am a celebrity.

I think we’re at the stage where we’re not musicians but not idols either. In a way, we also feel bad for being called idols.

Be yourself unapologetically, because that’s when you truly shine.

Failure is not the end; it’s just a stepping stone towards success.

Music is a universal language that has the power to bring people together.

Don’t be afraid to express yourself through your art, even if it’s unconventional.

I don’t want to be a celebrity; I want to be an artist.

You can’t explain Chanel. It’s a verb.

Before I was physically there in different countries to meet my fans in person, I didn’t really realize how famous I was.

European style is classic, with its own color, and to me, it always feels chic.

My mom is in charge of my earnings.

We believe that anything and everything is possible, regardless if it’s a domestic or international project.

I’m the most comfortable when I’m at home resting doing nothing.I feel the most myself when I’m with music.

I think a beautiful person is one with a beautiful heart.

Like anybody, I like clothes, and I enjoy what I like to wear. We might have a difference in personal outfit choices. Some might not like it. But to judge someone because of their appearance is pretty foolish. If you have time to do that, I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror and spend more time developing yourself. Come on, it’s 2013.

You call me gay, but I can get your girl screaming louder on the computer seat by just clicking ‘Follow’ on her Twitter.

Am I in a relationship? Yeah. I’m already in a relationship with everybody that likes me.

Seungri, are you listening? I love you.

BIGBANG  is the band that i myself am a big fan of.

I only wear clothes because I can’t walk around with nothing on, but they started calling me a fashionista.

I have this disease-like need to try to create something new. When you’re kind of being chased, and everything you do goes so well, you develop this sickness and a sense of need to constantly do something different.

Kill them with success and bury them with a big smile.

It’s better to be hated than ignored.

Work until your idols become your rivals.

What we should really fear is not failure but the heart that is no longer brave enough to take risks and embrace challenges.

I want to show my true self, not how I want to be seen by others.

The only thing I have to do in life is die. Everything else is a choice… including breathing.

If I meet my ideal woman, I want to get married straight away. And start making a world of just the two of us.

I want to express the feelings that everyone has felt at least once in music so i think people will feel/understand my song.

I have good pronunciation no matter what language I speak. Maybe it’s because my specialties are rapping and imitating others.

I don’t want to go to a foreign country and get lumped into that genre. I’m just looking at the bigger picture. This K-pop title might be good for now, but looking ahead it could hold me back, like a prison of sort. I’m a little wary about that.

They (TVXQ) really are the perfect sunbaes.
