My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.

When I was 12, all I wanted for Christmas was a trampoline or a four-wheeler. I ended up getting both presents for Christmas.

I'm not gonna say that I hate it, because I really respect Usher and I was influenced by him. But so many people compare me to him, and I don't think it'll ever stop. I just want to be my own artist.

I'm 18 in this album. I'm not losing fans, and I'm not disrepecting women, but you reach the maturity of taking it to the next level with a girl. It was only necessary for me to have at least one song like that.

My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.

My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.

With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean, Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK, he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.

Having the right people around you all the time is important. I do take the acting seriously. But this is all fun. I look at it like smoke and mirrors. I still think it's a dream, but I ain't pinching myself yet.

I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.

Haters keep on hating, cause somebody's gotta do it.

I love attention. If I see a gang of girls? That makes me dance even more!

I love sneakers on a girl. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I'm still a young. I really like just like a girl who has style - a girl who does her own thing, is unique in what she's wearing and works what she's got.

Since I'm always working, my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family.

The worst moment was when I was performing and I was about to sing, but I choked. I had a tickle in my throat and I started coughing, and I couldn't get the words out. It lasted for like thirty seconds, but I got over it, and luckily the crowd didn't seem to care.

I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said, What are you doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to the girls.

I used to feel so shy speaking to girls. It was even worse when they were around their crew because they would diss me.

Loving is doing anything for them, thinking about them constantly and being able to spend your whole life with that person. Liking somebody is just like, 'Okay, I like them because of this, this and this, but I don't knkow if I am ready to be in love with them'.

Follow your dreams. Just make sure to have fun too.

I like low-maintenance girls, but at the same time, classy. She needs to take care of herself. But also be a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and play basketball, so it's cool if she's a tomboy.

My first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing. I was rolling with the punches because everything was new to me.

I think I can beat Usher on the dance floor.

Girls are losing their virginity at 15, 16. I'm not promoting that. But my songs are talking... about me becoming a man.

My personal life is the same. At the end of the day, this is just a job. I love what I do, and it's a great job. But it's like my alter ego. There's Chris Brown the singer. And there's Christopher Brown, the down-home Tappahannock boy that plays video games and basketball and hangs out.

With dates I like to cater a girl. We do whatever she likes. If she was open to what I wanted to do, it probably wouldn't be a dull date, because I am a jock.

With fame, you can't trust everybody. You can't depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got and what you can bring to their life. It's not a relationship-it's a leech.

I drew a lot of inspiration from the Ginuwines, the Ushers, the Michael Jacksons, the James Browns, Sam Cooke.

I think the key is basically just your determination. As far an artist is concerned, it's just about your drive and your dream.

I would say I'm an inspirational guidelines book. You can take my life story or scenarios or songs and relate to them and apply them to your everyday life.

Whether it be personal or musical, I just think I'm a walking art piece, just a ball of creativity.

I need one more chance. We can still have it all.

With fame you cant trust everybody. You cant depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what youve got you as a person. They will only be there because of what youve got and what you can bring to their life. Its not a relationship its a leech.

Haters keep on hating cause somebodys gotta do it.

Grissom is pretty asexual. He's not that interested in anything other than work - except for Lady Heather. She's the closest to getting his heart of anyone.

I want to be the first lady to land a quadruple jump in competition. As I grow older, I know that my skating style will develop and mature.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

I got sick and tired of my lady wearing ugly underwear to bed, so I turned to the Internet.

Truth is a demure lady, much too ladylike to knock you on your head and drag you to her cave. She is there, but people must want her, and seek her out.

More men than women like 'Strangers With Candy'. Pretty girls don't like the show. They don't like to see an ugly lady.

I didn't hang around films. I don't know if I'd ever seen Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes.

Accuracy to a newspaper is what virtue is to a lady; but a newspaper can always print a retraction.

I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.

I dated a lot of girls all through high school, and in college I dated a young lady for about eight months.

I knew I'd conquered America when Mike Tyson told me I was one mean lady.

To my embarrassment I was born in bed with a lady.

I'd like to think that the boring lady who's talking to me now is a lot sexier and more interesting than the one who's doing NPR. You know, studious and reserved, and - I bet you're a lot of fun at a party.

I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I'd bet I wouldn't lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.

Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.

I'd make a wonderful Lady Macbeth. I'll wear a pair of platform shoes or something.

I explained to the lady my love for John and his work, and she made it possible for me to purchase one of the 24 proofs, the one for 'I'm So Tired,' which I have on my piano at home.
