I’m not trying to be fashionable. Never was!

There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.

If you consider the definition of authenticity, it’s saying something and actually doing it. I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It’s all authentic.

Sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win.

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don’t implement promises, but keep them.

I can’t pretend that I’m brave and that I can beat the whole world.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

The hardest thing for – not only an artist but for anybody to do is look themselves in the mirror and acknowledge, you know, their own flaws and fears and imperfections and put them out there in the open for people to relate to it.

I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

I’m not going to make a song just to make a song. The day that I make an album, it’s so that people really know what Bad Bunny’s about.

For me, I don’t want to cheat the game by saying, or kind of doing lip service by saying, I want to be the greatest ever. I want to be able to show it.

We’re all insecure, aren’t we? I’m not walking around like I’m macho man or anything.

I’m always attracted to people who interest me. They’ve got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They’re interested in people.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!

I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.

We based the look on rock ‚n roll right from the beginning.

When you’re 25 or 30, you know, you can’t wear lime-green eye shadow anymore.

I barely can go shopping for clothes. I find it difficult to walk into stores. The whole thing bores me so much.

Yeah, I’m an open book.

It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.

Jesus lived a life that was full of joy and contradictions and fights, you know? If they were to paint a picture of Jesus without contradictions, the gospels would be fake, but the contradictions are a sign of authenticity.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

There’s no real excuse for being successful enough as an actor to do what you want and then selling out. You do it pure. You don’t try to adapt it, make it commercial.

I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.

There’s a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps. What’s the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it’s exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That’s really cool. That’s the biggest signifier of closing the gaps.

I liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.

If you’re always under the pressure of real identity, I think that is somewhat of a burden.

I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.

Music is part of the life of fashion, too.

Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.

You know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that’s what you’re gonna get!

It’s like, remember who you always were, where you came from, who your parents were, how they raised you. Because that authentic self is going to follow you all through life, so make sure that it’s solid so it’s something that you can hold on and be proud of for the rest of your life.

Live truth instead of professing it.

I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There’s no tricks. It’s honesty with big melodies.

I don’t know if it’s changing already with ‚Joanne,‘ but my intention is to bring people together that don’t know each other and that would maybe feel awkward, but somehow be brought together by the music. That’s what I wanted to do. Because that is pure and authentic to my family history and what I stand for.

My jewelry’s all fake – from Claire’s. Or I get it from my mom’s boutique in Barbados.

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.

I’m not always going to say things the perfect way, the right way. But I’m going to say how I feel.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

My clothes are very popular in Japan.

No man was ever great by imitation.

I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we’ve all heard about before.

There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

A person who is truly authentic doesn’t need to play a role in life, we think, but can simply be him – or herself.

I always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.

There are many sham diamonds in this life which pass for real, and vice versa.

I’m not going to say I’m cool, because I don’t really feel that. I just don’t care at all, and I guess that’s what people think is cool.

I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.

When I was fourteen and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else. So I would go to the club in a polo T-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls.

The stylish kids on the street, they’re the ones that set the trends. The designers see what they’re doing and go and design their line and sell it back to the same kids, and it’s like, why not go directly to the source?

I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Real life is the life that’s in you, not your circumstances, like where you live or what job you have or who you’re in relationship with.

I’m not big on flak jackets and tie-dyed shirts. You know, that’s not me.

Reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
