Quotes:
"I
want to tell you guys one promise that I made way before I became a
singer. We won't just be the big star you see on the outside. We'll
sing from our hearts and we'll become true singers that can give you
guys strength." [from The REAL concert '06]
"I wish people would
come to our apartment a little less.. I want to rest at least while I'm
at home and I don't want to give others too many troubles." (on what he
wants fans to stop doing or less of)
"Music is a way for me to
express myself. I'm usually bad at expressing myself to other people
but I can do that through music." (on music)
"I’ve always loved
singing and I felt something new when I sang. I worked real hard at it
because I always thought singing would greatly help me in the future
too. " (from being a rapper to a vocalist)
"Yeah, I used to get
really nervous around girls and could barely ever speak in front of
one. I never really went out of my house so I became really shy. Maybe
it’s because I’m an introvert. Now, it’s become a lot better. Still,
though, I have trouble talking in front of girls." - (on being nervous
about girls)
"There’s no one reason for it. I think it suits me
best and I like it too. I don’t really like always having to do my hair

thickness were less then I would want to have cornrows forever." (on

Quotes:
"Music
is oxygen. If you don't have oxygen you can't breathe. To me music is
something that's always there, wherever I go it's a part of me, without
it I can't live. It breathes with me."
"We all have different
personalities so I want to learn a lot, but my personality is the
complete opposite of Taeyang's. I'm more indifferent or straightforward
at times while Taeyang nicely and kindly comforts people. I want to

"Leader G-Dragon (Kwon
Ji-yong)'s ideal girl is a stylish girl. G-dragon has strong sences in
style within the group so whenever a girl's style catches his eyes
first. With that, he added
"I don't go for looks. I want someone
erson I like, they seem to be pretty."who understands me and have a lot in common. I don't look at outside
appearance but if I look at the p
