Chris Brown quotes:

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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'.

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'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.

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.

I think I can beat Usher on the dance floor.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

To be the best you have to beat the best

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.

Your crib or my bed? It don't make a difference I'm lickin' on your body girl I'm feelin' on your booty Now you really wanna do the nasty

Girl I love it when you get on your knees you make me disappear like magic.

Girl if I said I loved you, I need you Would you care?

You gon' be my baby Love me like you're crazy.

Oh baby, come sit down right on my face.

It ain't nothing to make you want it.

Baby you're so damn beautiful I really like it.

Took a broke nigga's bitch I can make a broke bitch rich But I don't fuck with broke bitches.

When a rich nigga want you And your nigga can't do nothing for ya These hoes ain't loyal

Oh, I don't know what you had planned to do tonight But I just wanna be the one to do you right.

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 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 always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.

My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.

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.

You start to live when a moment feels like a lifetime

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

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

Wave to the haters like nanananana.

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

Gratitude is the key that unlocks wonder.

Unity is what we are afraid of so fear is insanity. Letâ??s love each other.

To be the best you must beat the best.

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.

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

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

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

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

I love it when you talk that sh-t.

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.

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

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 started when I was about 11, singing.

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.

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.

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.
