Usher (musician)

Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you’re going out. Have your girlfriend clip your nails or something like that.

Usher

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.

Usher

Artists who are relevant today won’t be tomorrow unless someone does the right thing by their character and preserves it in the dialogue of a movie.

Usher

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.

Usher

As you go down the rabbit hole of reading into our history, you realize that there are so many things that history books didn’t teach us about ourselves.

Usher

Down time is not the name of the game.

Usher

Every time you come out with an album or a song, you want to feel like you’re growing a bit in what you are and giving people something that they can feel.

Usher

For a woman to be able to dominate and also be feminine and soft, that’s a talent. And its not all about appearance. A woman who has a brain, who is street-smart and book-smart, that woman is very, very sexy to me.

Usher

How do I define who Usher is? I’m still doing it – every day, every new opportunity, every stage, every interview, every other thing that I’ve done, every time that I’ve invested in anything that is all the definition of who I am.

Usher

I create from a place of passion. It’s like a pregnancy, where you create from a place of passion, and then it grows, and then before you know it, you want to push that baby out.
