Zitat des Tages von Usher:
I've been working so hard, I'm about to have a Mariah Carey.
Strivers achieve what dreamers believe.
In life, you have to go through something to get to something. From that, the inspiration comes having something of substance to talk about; otherwise you're just considered to be fluff.
I learned how music works dealing with Jermaine Dupri, and I learned how image works dealing with Puff Daddy.
Somebody has to look out for and protect our kids, and I feel blessed to be a blessing to someone else.
Down time is not the name of the game.
I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace.
I'm not a morning person, but I've become one as the result of having kids. The morning is my private time to spend with my boys.
Artistic development made me who I am. Somebody took the time to help me find what it is that works for me as an entertainer and who I am as a music maker.
Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you're with an individual who isn't moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain't going to work.
In time we grow older, we grow wiser, we grow smarter, and we're better. And I feel like I'm becoming more seasoned, although I don't have my salt-and-pepper hair.
Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you're going out. Have your girlfriend clip your nails or something like that.
Sometimes, when I'm scolding the kids, I sound just like my mom. I'm like, 'How did Jonetta get in here?'
The girls want to see the rips on your stomach - they like that.
You can't fake being a star. But you can also become a great personality.
I get to see life through rose-colored glasses a lot of the time.
When I was a kid, we got in a cipher and battled each other lyrically. We told jokes and made the hottest dance moves.
Marketing is more important than it has ever been. But I'm trying to tear the layers back and make it not so contrived. I think people just want entertainment.
My music is about where I am at the time. In 'Raymond vs. Raymond,' I was going through a lot of things, and it came out in my music. My marriage fell apart, and I was suddenly a single father.
As a kid, looking at Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, New Edition, the Temptations, Motown, people who I felt were huge artists, they made me wanna do something.
If you get lazy when you're onstage, it shows.
