Simply, there are many things I would like to do.

I enjoyed the opportunities, but there was no time to think.

During my grief, I realised there was nothing I could do for my mother, but I did have a child.

Actually, recording the Suite Chic album was so much fun and while working on this new album, people that I've worked with from Suite Chic has lend their voice.

Up until now, I had ideas that I wanted to try but didn't have the opportunity to do them.

If I don't think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly.

I think afterall, a promotion video is a piece of work in it's own right.

I get even more nervous singing when everyone's fallen silent, but I really try to communicate the meaning of the lyrics, and there's people there listening to that, and if they're moved by it, then I'm moved as well.

From my debut until now, I've always wanted to sing and dance.

I guess you could say I'm cautious, or a coward.

After I can be happy with knowing that I did what I wanted to do.

In the beginning, I didn't dance that much and stuff.

I had no choice in the decision to make myself available. I was not always doing things I wanted to do.

Even my closest friend said I was finished, but I think I may be a little different from the others.

Until now, I've not done a project where the produce, rapper and singer has never worked together like this before, and I had a chance to try a variety of styles.

Simply, there are many things I would like to do.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

For the most part, I don't care about what everyone else is doing, or what is popular.

Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.

Aside from my work, in my everyday private life, I'm not a very adventureous person. I don't look for change.

Until now, I was insecure and I believed what the people around me said in regarding what I should sing.

My popularity plunged three years ago and I didn't try to court publicity.

I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.

If I get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse.

When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didn't have time to think.

People around me called me an idol, so that's what I was.

I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried.

I'm not completely at ease at rapping, I can't do it well yet.

I never had the chance to consider what or how I wanted to be.

I stopped caring what people thought.

If I can't get a mental image from the song, I won't sing it.

When I was younger, there was a huge gap between what I wanted to do and what I could do as an idol.

I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

Fate is never fair. You are caught in a current much stronger than you are struggle against it and youll drown not just yourself but those who try to save you. Swim with it. and youll survive

I think the National Football League needs a new union. The heavyweights of this union are not heavyweights enough.

Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is quite as satisfying as an income tax refund.

Time stays, we go.

People don't really assume that I'm Filipino. Of course, they're gonna think, 'Oh, are you some sort of Hispanic?' and you say, 'No, I'm actually not.' I get Korean or Chinese a lot.

If I ever get looks on the street, which, for the record, is almost never, it's rarely because they think I'm someone they saw in a movie. More often someone sees me and thinks, 'Hey, was that guy my waiter the other night?'

Cotton is my life.

If you make a treaty first with the United States and settle the matter of the opium trade, England cannot change this, though she should desire to do so.

I no longer want to live in an apartment furnished with forklifts and backhoes.

People begin to resent the rich only when they conclude that the system is rigged.

I don't hold myself out as a role model. I don't believe that everyone should make the same choices; that everyone has to want to be a CEO, or everyone should want to be a work-at-home mother. I want everyone to be able to choose. But I want us to be able to choose unencumbered by gender choosing for us.

History teaches us that unity is strength, and cautions us to submerge and overcome our differences in the quest for common goals, to strive, with all our combined strength, for the path to true African brotherhood and unity.

Two cheers for Democracy: one because it admits variety and two because it permits criticism.

I get to go to work and come home with something interesting or enriching or astonishing.

I enjoyed reading as a child.

In Tokyo, we have more three-star Michelin restaurants than Paris.
