Chris Brown Quotations

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.

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

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

My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

I think I can beat Usher on the dance floor.

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'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 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.

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'.

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.

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

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

I started when I was about 11, singing.

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.

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.

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.

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 have a creative mind, so if I listen to the song, I have an idea, I thought of five or six months ago, I'll bring it back into the playing field. I can tweak ideas or make them better. Just come up with something and then we go from there.

I tried to stay away from the Euro beats, and not go totally pop. Instead, I wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach. The record pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes. I wanted to put that classic essence of R&B and soul with the new age of music now. There’s a lot of live instruments, and a lot less Auto-Tune. I really wanted to demonstrate my vocal ability, creating the vibe of me singing along with a band.

My story, or my life or my legacy can hopefully show [fans] that once you’re down, that doesn’t mean you’re down forever. You never let up.

You are the fans, sit back and watch. That's all you're doing anyway.

I love Karrueche very much but I don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna, i'd rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.

Michael Jackson is the reason why I do music and why I am an entertainer. I am devastated by this great loss, and I will continue to be humbled and inspired by his legacy. My prayers are with his family. Michael will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. He's the greatest, the best ever. No one will ever be better.

Ladies love me I'm on my cool J

Out of all the airports that are out there only about 5 percent have commercial service.

I'm just going to go out there knowing my teammates are depending on me to get the job done. I've got to go out and get it done, no letting down.

I love it when you talk that sh-t.

There's never a right time to say goodbye.

I'm gonna do clothes, but stuff that kids can afford. I want to get into the high fashion world very soon, but the stuff I want to start out with is the small stuff, for the kids, that anybody can afford the Nikes, or the Jordans, Or let's say they can't afford the big brand name clothes, so I would make a lower end line but still high-quality.

If men or women don't feel [the way I do], then don't live your life that way. Whatever works for your relationship. It's not just sex. I feel like that about dinner, about taking care of who you're with.

There's never a right time to say goodbye. But I gotta make the first move 'cause if I don't you're gonna start hating me.

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.

A defining moment in my life was my first actual VMA performance… That was the first time in my head I said I made it. Everybody knows who you are now. At that point everything in my life was flawless… I was just overwhelmed, I was happy, I was successful as an artist. I think I was in cruise control – like a little bit of bliss.

I got a chance to get an actual label. I performed this slow song, this ballad I have. I just remember going to the first woman I saw in the room and just getting on my knees holding her hand just singing. And I was like, you know what, I got to just sell it. I remember that day they were like, yo we want to sign you. [After] I went into the bathroom, I started crying, [and] I called my mom. I was like momma – I did it.

It's Not My Job To Try To Persuade People To Love Me, It's Only To Try To Make Them Love The Music

If you're sexy and you know it put your hands up in the air. Put your hands up in the air, girl, put your hands up.

To be the best you must beat the best.

I need to be the best Chris Brown I can be,

Well the first time I performed, my mom was like how she is now when sees me on stage – all red, smiling from ear to ear. So I don’t want to mess up, [be]cause she’s smiling. Seeing my mom happy is kind of like an overwhelming feeling.

People who make mistakes and learn from them are role models too. I'm just happy to inspire growth and positivity.

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

It's the Roman numeral for 10. 5/5/89 is my birthday: 5 plus 5 is 10, and this is my tenth year since I got into music. 'X' is the 24th letter in the alphabet, and I will turn 24 when this album comes out. 'X' is also a metaphor, as in 'ex-girlfriend': it implies you're progressing and moving on in life, not holding on to the past and your old ways.

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.

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

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

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

Gratitude is the key that unlocks wonder.

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

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

To be the best you have to beat the best

You start to live when a moment feels like a lifetime

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

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.

I can say that I am only human and I have made mistakes. I can say that I try to live my life in the most true, honest way that I can. I am not perfect, no one is. No one is harder on me than me. No one can please everyone. No one can live in the past and expect to grow. I have been moving forward and hope that I am not defined by just a few moments in my life but all of the moments that will make up my life.

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

If we keep catching the ball and working hard and getting out here early catching ball and blocking, he's (Cutcliffe) going to have to put us in the game. That's what Coach Luke keeps telling us. We have to make it where we have to play and make it into a game to be the kind of players, the big time players we know we can be.

My manager gave me the freedom to be creative, and I listen and learn from her every day.

I would note, not a single customer of Phillips Roofing ever contacted the authorities with a complaint. The authority contacted them and told them they were victims of a crime.

We have nothing to lose, to be honest. Our scores have been up and down this year. We'll just go and play the best we can.

We only need 145 more votes, and we're going to be knocking on doors...we're going to go get them.

When you go to Portland, ... Clive is pretty much a father figure to the girls and the boys. He takes you almost as his son or daughter.

That's my main goal is living, living and living happily.

They're gaining real-life work experience. You can read something in a book or listen to someone talk about it; but when you are the one who has to get up in the morning and be at your job, that's where you really learn.

It's going to be a very emotional stadium, and everybody's going to be rooting for LSU throughout the nation probably because of the whole hurricane thing.

It's hard now being a young performer, it's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. You know, dealing with schoolwork and friendships and everything. But it's great, though. You gotta cope.

In moving to a Web services-based SOA, we've quickly seen the need for more formal communications as our service teams become more distributed.

I gave them to my mother. She was sitting on the second row.

His friends and his neighbors were all gone, and he didn?t want to take something that other people might need, ... He didn?t know that he too was a victim.
