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.

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

It undoubtedly feels nice when you are being appreciated and you get complimented by girls. Who doesn’t like that? Having said that, I don’t take it as any pressure.

I am who I am and I say what I think. I’m not putting a face on for the record.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

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.

I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There’s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

Accept everything about yourself – I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end – no apologies, no regrets.

You make yourself broad. You make yourself appealing. ‚Hey, y’all, I’m cool with everybody.‘ That’s my message.

If you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.

I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself – let’s put it that way.

That’s all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. ‚Cos women are powerful, powerful beings. But they’re also the most doubtful beings. They’ll never know – we’ll never know – how powerful we are.

The truth is, I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let men sometimes fool themselves.

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.

Some of the kids in school used to call my father a fake or a phony. That kind of thing brought on a few fights.

Truth has rough flavours if we bite it through.

I feel like when I try to fit in, it comes across as not genuine, and that is not good. I’d rather just do me and have people say, ‚Oh. That’s interesting,‘ than try to fit in.

Selling out is doing something you don’t really want to do for money. That’s what selling out is.

I don’t need you to be funny. I don’t want to be entertained.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I’ve done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it’s nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

As long as my music is real, it’s no limit to how many ears I can grab.

I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn’t, then why would you say I am.

My philosophy is it’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

When I came into this industry, I was never afraid to be myself.

It’s hard to practice compassion when we’re struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what’s really happening to me, even if it’s a tough pill to swallow for people around me… I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.

People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.

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.

I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.

I’m very secure about my talents and about who I am.

Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.

I wanted to only create a great perfume, not any perfume that would sell, but a great artistic one that the fans would not feel cheated by.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.

If you think dealing with issues like worthiness and authenticity and vulnerability are not worthwhile because there are more pressing issues, like the bottom line or attendance or standardized test scores, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. It underpins everything.

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

I put my flaws on front street. So the world accepted my flaws, so I don’t have any flaws.

Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.

Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

You are victors, not victims!

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

One is lucky to be born in a place where no one is doing it, because then you can say, ‚Well, obviously I can write better than everyone else in high school.‘ You have no idea of the competition.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

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

I’m not afraid to look like an idiot.

It was really hard for them to intimidate me. They felt I was intimidating. One of the growers had a name for me: I think it was ‚dragon lady‘ or something like it.

At Sarah Lawrence, I realized that everybody was already what they were going to be. The painters were painting, the writers writing, the dancers dancing. And nobody wore any makeup. The art was uppermost.

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

The essential lesson I’ve learned in life is to just be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you’re not here as a human being only. You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

If the writing is honest it cannot be separated from the man who wrote it.

I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I’m willing to show you. In you, it’s courage and daring. In me, it’s weakness.

Until it’s on the radio or online, it’s not real. With U2, our album isn’t finished until it’s in the stores.

Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.

All I can do is try to create my own brand and have people appreciate me for that.

I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

People make suggestions on what to say all the time. I’ll give you an example; I don’t read what’s handed to me. People say, ‚Here, here’s your speech, or here’s an idea for a speech.‘ They’re changed. Trust me.
