“Don’t hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track, baby
I was born this way (…)”

“No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track, baby I was born to survive (…)”

“I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect, and we know we’re not perfect, at all.”

“You have a feeling, a hard feeling who needs more respect, you pronounce love when I do any smart (…)” @katyperry: Imperfection is the new perfection…

“It’s important to be relatable and normal. And I think that what helps with that, for me, is that I had the rug pulled out from underneath my feet so many times. It was like ‘Listen up, bitch, you’re not going to get served this on a silver platter, you’ve got to work for it!’ I don’t feel like I can act like an entitled bitch yet! I still have so much to prove.”

“I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight. Topple you down from your sky forty stories high… Shining like a god, can’t believe I got you inside.”

“People might tell me that I’m arrogant but naming me a ‘hit composer’ doesn’t mean anything to me. What I’m doing right now is just a practice of my next album. What’s more crucial than rankings and popularity is making music that will consistently be loved even when after decades. I truly hope that our music could inspire other talented musicians and contribute to the development of K-pop music. That’s my vision and goal.”

“Be yourself. Be true to yourself. Be who you are and don’t be afraid to be aggressive about it and show people.”
