Queen and Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses - I had a huge rock-band mania. I play a little bit of drums.

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.

I'm not that good looking. That's why 'Gangnam Style' works. If someone handsome uses that phrase it's just awkward. But if someone like me uses it, it's funny.

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.

Look heavenly onward.

Don't be afraid to fall into the sea. Close your eyes and jump, for you will fall on the back of a big fish which will carry you to your destination

An old man's advice is not an opinion

Indecision is like a stepchild: if he doesn't wash his hands he is called dirty if he does he is wasting the water.

Make good use of bad rubbish.

The misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never happen.

When we love all the life we see, we see the love in all life.

You can feel good about failure. Failure means you did something. You finished the story even if it wasn't what you'd hoped. Failure means you're learning. Growing. Doing.

Things change, and not always for the better.

I have a huge issue with blackface.
