I don’t know … but I think this Ebola epidemic is a form of population control.

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

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

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

One thing people often want me to talk about is my public love life. When it comes to my love life, the perception seems as though I am a player. But that’s not true. Love is something I am still learning. It’s just an obstacle that I haven’t yet mastered. I think that’s my biggest hurdle in life.

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.

You start to live when a moment feels like a lifetime

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.

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

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

To be the best you have to beat the best

You are my greatest gift and I seal it with a kiss.

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

Gratitude is the key that unlocks wonder.

Wave to the haters like nanananana.

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 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.

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

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

I think I can beat Usher on the dance floor.

My mom told me as a youngster I was always intellectual, like as far as being able to adapt fast and quick. But I had a fun childhood, went to regular school.

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

You can’t be old and wise, if you were never young and crazy.

Unity is what we are afraid of so fear is insanity. Let’s love each other.

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.

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 started when I was about 11, singing.

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.

I can’t hate people for making judgment on me, or making a decision of liking me or not liking me. All I can do is try to better as a person. And I’m good with knowing everything isn’t always going to be perfect.

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.

A man’s attire is only an outward projection of his inward self.

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.

There’s never a right time to say goodbye.

Jesus didn’t die on the cross to BLESS our life, He did it to CHANGE our life.

So please don’t judge me and I won’t judge you ’cause it could get ugly before it gets beautiful.

I love it when you talk that sh-t.

Bad things are always going to happen in life; People will eventually hurt you, but you can’t use that as an excuse to hurt someone back.
