I cannot learn creation from other people; I've got to do it myself. Now, honestly, I regret not studying - I don't know about harmonies, or anything, so if I'm composing a song, it's really hard.

Before 'Gangnam Style' I was not a good attitude artist.

The world's most famous and popular language is music.

Unexpectedly, I'm here now, so I need to let all the U.S. marketers know that Asians are not different. We are all the same.

The mindset of this [“Gangnam Style”] dance is dress classy, and dance cheesy,

The fact that I'm shouting that I have Gangnam style makes people crack up. Imagine if Brad Pitt was singing the song - would it be funny? A twist is important when it comes to writing lyrics.

As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I'm a very positive person.

All the people in Korea are cheering me like I'm a gold medalist or something, so I have a responsibility to my country.

Everything moves way too fast.

I never expect I would become a K-pop star.

There were lots of things to stop and see - and then it was time to go, always time to go.

[Alexander von] Humboldt showers us with true treasures.

Sometimes a psychic tells you something and it feels wrong and others may be right on the money. It's your choice about whom to trust, and giving that trust is something we do ourselves.

I'm the sort of person that starts digging a hole and doesn't stop until it's finished.

Success is my drug of choice.

When treating with liars, even an honest man must lie.

I'm old enough to know what to do with my young feelings.

If the woman picks the wrong man, that's not society's problem. That's her problem.

Right now I'm just single, but I'm really looking forward to the day when I'm happily single.

Anything you may hold firmly in your imagination can be yours.
