Musical success depends on how much you enjoy it and how much you are willing to put in. Luck must follow, too.

I want to have freedom with everything I do.

I have a very small physique, so it's a little hard to find suits that really fit me well. I have to wear sizes that are really skinny.

Americans might not understand, but within Korea, Big Bang was one of the first artists to make their own production. We have our own interpretation of our own songs. We do our own thing.

I want a daughter no matter what.

We are Korean, so obviously they call our music K-pop. But we never thought of our music as K-pop. Our music is just our music.

Carpe diem, you know.

In order to keep my creativity alive, I just try to enjoy life to the fullest.

Whatever I like, even after a long time, I still like it. And I reminisce about the moment when I first heard it. That's what I love. Just remembering those moments.

I always think today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow is better than today.

It doesn't matter what kind of clothes you put on: if you're a stylish individual, you're going to preserve that.

You have to believe in yourself, challenge yourself, and push yourself until the very end; that's the only way you'll succeed.

My style is a part of my music. You can't be an artist and not put any thought or effort into the way you appear.

At the end of the day, I'm out of here - above anything.

If I told a lie, then I got to come back and correct it years later. I hate that I have to be the person that touch on their life and be personal and be direct with certain situations, but man, I'm glad that it's me than them.

I don't even talk about being locked up in any of my songs.

It takes an astronaut so long to get to space - that's how long it takes to catch up on my music.

I just want to be an inspiration. I'm a rock star, I'm Future Hendrix.

My day one fans - my fans from my mix tape days - know my life now. They know where I've been. You don't want to have a disconnection with those fans. You have to give them all of you because they feel like they've known you.

It takes compromise to raise a child, especially with a schedule like mine.

At times, I think, 'What would I rather be doing than music?' That's what you have to ask yourself, if you feel like you need to be somewhere else... But there's nothing else I want to do more than music. That's why I stay in the booth.

My favorite rappers are, I can't really say. I like Kanye because he's so creative. He'll just do anything. I like what Kanye's bringing to the game. Lil Wayne. I like Wayne.

The most fun moments are being on the stage and seeing how the crowd reacts to your music. The energy of the crowd that makes you just want to go in and keep doing it and be a part of this forever.

My daddy didn't even sign my birth certificate. So I ain't never had his last name.
