“Growing up, I listened to a lot of Queen and Lauryn Hill because of my dad. Those are songs that have messages.”
“I know from my own experience that anything is possible, that there's nothing you can't do.”
“I don't like to box myself into anything, because I also sing and I love to dance; I do everything.”
“I don't actually like calling myself a rapper. I'm more a performer.”
“Our goal is just to put the best music out there possible.”
“I enjoy exploring and finding myself.”
“There are always two sides to a person. CL is me, and so is Chaelin.”
“Once you have the money, fame, success or power, it's so easy to maintain that, because all you have to do is play it safe.”
“I have this other side of me that people didn't meet in 2NE1.”
“We just love shopping. I don't look at the brand; I don't look at the most pricey outfit. Even if it's a dollar, I don't care.”
“It's so easy to be pretty and perfect.”
“We're 2NE1, and we're from Korea. We're this girl band with great music.”
“I think it's in my blood: both of my parents are very hard workers and were always working when I was growing up. I love working and what I do.”
“Yes, I am successful in Asia. But if you think about that too much, you become boring. Because you don't want to take risks.”
“I like to play different characters.”
“N.Y. is definitely one of my favorites. Love the culture, people, attitude and music, art, and fashion.”
“Back in Korea, I'm always in the studio with YG people. I'd be given a song, and I'd cut it.”
“My creative is for the world.”
“Girls in Asia are very obedient, shy, timid, quiet, but I can tell that it's changing, and I want them to be stronger and tell them that it's OK to be different.”
“Normally, people think of Asian women as timid, but I think I'm very strong.”
