Honestly, I really hated dancing at first. Because I'm not good at it. I still don't like dancing.

I decided upon the thought that I can only find myself once I can admit to myself and approve that both sides are sides of myself.

I believe that there's no improvement if you have an inferiority complex and victim mentality.

To be honest, my goal is very clear. It's to have many people listen to my music. I want to confirm my existence even more by standing on a large stage.

More than anything, I want to just have the largest amount of people possible listening to my music. This is the biggest thing to me.

Sometimes I have that kind of critical mind to myself as well. This is because there are times where I have to do things that I don't wish to.

I understand that people have a critical mind towards my position. And receive a lot of confusion too.

I liked hip-hop, wanted to do rap, and wanted to stand on a large stage. If you look at it in another angle... it's something that I chose.

If I could just have my music be played for many people no matter what method or way is used, I would reply that that is not the case.

When G-Dragon released 'Heart Breaker', I remember it. The reactions to when that was released as opposed to 'One of a Kind' is really like heaven and hell.

Because I believe that I know about that aspect of hip-hop better than any one else, I'm trying my best in order to be the most real I can in this situation.

The first kiss plummeted him down a hole and popped him out into a world he thought he could get along in—as if he’d been pulling hard the wrong way and was now turned around headed downstream.

I seek to humble myself, so I won't attract the harsh experiences that will.

Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.

You need to be real enough to be believable, but you don't necessarily have to be real enough to be real. There is a distinction.

I thought of all those heroines of fiction who looked pretty when they cried, and what a contrast I must make with a blotched and swollen face, and red rims to my eyes.

In 1978, I entered Tohoku University, into the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technology.

If everybody became a poet the world would be much better. We would all read to each other.

I pressed down the mental accelerator. The old lemon throbbed fiercely. I got an idea.

If you get tough mentally, you can get tough physically and overcome fatigue.

When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.
