G-Dragon

“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.'”

“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.”

“Whether it's music or fashion, the older I get, I realize what's comfortable lasts longer.”

“We make our own music, and the songs appeal to the public well, and the public likes them.”

“Kwon Ji Yong is searching for the comfort and reliable people that G-Dragon doesn't have offstage.”

“When I don't look cool enough or when I cannot make good music anymore, I will retire.”

“As a rapper, I was heavily influenced by American rap albums. But for songs that are more melody-driven, I get my inspiration from Korean albums.”

“It would be better to be recognized first for music, but people go with what they like. If I'm here because I'm recognized more so as a style icon, then, if I'm smart enough, I will use this opportunity to share more insight about my music.”

“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.”

“When I was still a student, I came out of a performing arts high school, and the female students who were doing traditional dance and ballet were so beautiful. They were beautiful, starting from their postures.”

“I've come to realize ways of making music without being excessive.”

“When I was young and didn't know any English, I was drawn by the energy and power of foreign songs and their melodies.”

“People may see me as a luxurious star, but I am always thinking I can be represented by my psychological world that is fraught with vanity, loneliness, and always feels inadequate.”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“My mom is in charge of my earnings.”

“European style is classic, with its own color, and to me, it always feels chic.”

“I would only create clothes myself if I felt I could do something really different - create a new style subculture for my generation - and that is very ambitious.”
