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

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

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

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.

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

Carpe diem, you know.

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.

I want a daughter no matter what.

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 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.

I want to have freedom with everything I do.

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

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.

When I wear Chanel, I feel like I'm not just wearing clothes: I'm wearing Chanel.

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

When I was younger, Big Bang didn't go on many variety programs, so we used to try and plan many fun events for our concert, like drama parodies, which Korean fans enjoyed.

I often enjoy wearing loud and outspoken clothing on stage, so off it, I usually wear loose-fitting vintage shirts, jeans, or track suits I've had forever. I just add styling to those pieces.

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.

Unfortunately, in Korea, I feel like some people are just seeing the dollar signs and sending out artists into the foreign markets who aren't fully prepared.

I'm not even sure who I really am sometimes.

Just like anyone else, I want privacy at times, but I understand that I am a celebrity.

I started out as a child actor. Back then, I didn't have a manager or company, and I couldn't even dream of having a stylist. My mom made and bought the clothes I would wear. I think that was probably when I first got into fashion.

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

I want to continuously instigate, whatever it may be.

We believe that anything and everything is possible, regardless if it's a domestic or international project.

I want to do something that can support all the people in Korea and the world who see us and are inspired to do their own thing.

I have to say I really was surprised on my first world tour. It was amazing to see what we've always dreamed of, right before our eyes.

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.

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

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

I now know that inspirations must come from everywhere.

There are times even I am a bit embarrassed by my look.

I study my fans all the time, and what I learn from them will definitely be reflected in my future work.

I don't know what I would have been doing if I was not in YG, but I think I would be doing something artistic.

You can't explain Chanel. It's a verb.

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.

I wasn't trying to be famous when I started making music. I mean, that wasn't the first thing I wanted.

I hope that, even when I'm simply just Kwon Ji-yong, I can be someone who still shines even without all these 'flashy' costumes on.

I just listened to regular commercial music from Korea. I would just follow the choreographed dance routines. I didn't have any ambitions of pursuing rapping. I liked dancing, so I did that.

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 am usually positive and optimistic. If I get stressed or some results are not so good, I let it go by thinking, 'Oh well, it can be better next time.' I don't worry a lot, and I'm not too serious about anything.

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.

Stage outfits are loud, outspoken, glamorous, fancy, and very different from normal day-to-day clothing. Therefore, by its nature, it is experimental.

Every Chanel show I've been to is very conceptual. Even down to the music and smells, the whole thing is connected.

Stony Skunk, when they were with our company, had a song which I personally like called 'Red Light District.'

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.

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.

I would write down the lyrics to 'C.R.E.A.M.' in Korean - not translating it, but phonetically writing out each word. I didn't know what they were saying, so I would just write everything down as I heard it. I would recite it and imitate it like that. That's how I started to write my own raps.

Because I love shopping, my house is overflowing with clothes. Most of them were bought by myself.
