“It’s just interesting how people relate my success when I would like to think that I worked my ass off for a reason and that it’s about the music and not because I was on a TV show.”

We all have holes, chips and scratches on us but these wear marks represent our journey, our wisdom, our knowledge, our lessons learned, our strength, and our vitality.

I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.

When I create it is the only time the past, present and future all meet me at once.

Found euphoria in the comfort of my own home.

There is a certain level of patience you have to have with yourself to get to the finish line.

No human interaction, just killing dead parts of myself to make room for the new.

The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them, away.

Just wanna be held once in a Blue Moon.

I’m obsessed with the venue and the people so it’s going to be really fun.The last couple of tours I didn’t have anything like that because of the budget, so I’m super excited because this is really going to bring the album to life.

Love starts inside of you.

Just because I’m an artist doesn’t mean I should be treated differently.

I think the transition between singing covers on a reality show to being able to do my own thing was really exciting. I’m no longer singing covers every second, and people are actually getting to hear my own original music.

I’m pretty excited for people to listen to the story of each song. It’s definitely like a giant book with different stories in it. They are all very child-like but also a balance between light and dark.

If you can’t handle a heart like mine, don’t waste your time with me.

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I’m very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.

Everyone wants to be good but good is only what we’re taught to perceive.

We will try to make the name BTS sound as cool as The Beatles.

If I don’t see a music video to it while writing it, I just scrap it immediately. It’s very visual.

When I was a little kid, I simply loved music and enjoyed expressing myself with my body.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Melody has a certain way that it projects back to you. It triggers certain nerves in your body and certain instincts that normally wouldn’t be triggered by a normal voice.

The singing in ‘Dynamite,’ it wasn’t easy because the song is high-pitched.

There is nothing stable in the world; uproar’s your only music.

It’s very hard to be an artist, on my first album, and I’m like asking for money for a music video for every song – it’s so hard to do. You have to pick your battles for sure, but I definitely want – and I’ve always worked to make it all connect – for all of it to feel cohesive.
