I only wear clothes because I can't walk around with nothing on, but they started calling me a fashionista.
-
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.
-
I will keep - try - to be, like, on a new level every day.

I occasionally rapped along to some homegrown Korean rap. And then a friend introduced me to Wu-Tang and played me 'Enter the 36th Chambers.' It was very shocking. And then I started to look for different albums. This was pre-Internet, so it's hard to find the music, and it was even harder to find music videos.
-
I want a daughter no matter what.
-
We make our own music, and the songs appeal to the public well, and the public likes them.
-
'Storm' was the first song I did as a member of YG. The record gave me a lot of pressure. I didn't think I was prepared at the time.
-
I think Taeyang developed this image as a dancing singer, mostly because of records like 'Only Look At Me,' and 'Where U At.' To me, personally, I think Taeyang tried to make a change on 'I Need a Girl.' It gets a little mellower.
-
We’ve been proud of the fact that we were known for our music first and it has been what makes us work harder
-
I think the confidence that I have right now is something that was created by the fans who love me.
-
I was about nine years old when I first heard Wu-Tang's 'C.R.E.A.M.' Before that, I didn't know anything about rap or hip-hop. I was just into Korean pop.

I'm not sure if they do this in the States, but in Korea, until high school, on your graduation diploma there's a line that states your future goal. Kids write 'president' or 'astronaut,' or whatever. I always wrote 'singer.'
-
G-Dragon is a fancy person. People don't expect the upright image of G-Dragon. Kwon Ji Yong is an introvert and has lots of things going on in his head.
-
Since the whole world is now concerned more about K-pop, I want to make more great songs which can be listed to as classics.
-
When I wear Chanel, I feel like I'm not just wearing clothes: I'm wearing Chanel.
-
I have good pronunciation no matter what language I speak. Maybe it’s because my specialties are rapping and imitating others
-
As a musician myself, I wouldn't be confident if I received some other composers' song, because I choose to express myself through the music that I make.
-
I study my fans all the time, and what I learn from them will definitely be reflected in my future work.
-
I stand on stage hoping to give good energy to the audience, but if I cannot give good energy anymore, I will have to leave right away.
-
There was this hip-hop collective called People Crew. And at the time in Korea, there was no real place to access rap music. So People Crew used to host this summer school program, which taught rapping and dancing. I begged my mom to attend that school to learn how to rap.
-
I now know that inspirations must come from everywhere.
-
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.

When you have a girlfriend, there are many things that are irritating every day, every night. I'm sure it's different for everyone, but when you fight, it gets really annoying.

I earned the opportunity to stand on stage with many senior artists at YG, and naturally, I gained stage experience.
