We all possess exactly what we need to be our greatest selves.
Usher

If [after one role] you believe that you've mastered acting and you don't have to study the craft or get a deeper perspective, then you're not going to succeed.

If you don't EVOLVE, you dissolve. You evolve or you evaporate.
Usher

I think it's important for us to believe in one another's capabilities. If I didn't have someone to believe in me, I wouldn't be the individual I am today. Neither would I strive for new territory or new direction or to believe in myself.

I can win those four-chair turns all day.

I'm a sponge, the more I absorb, the more I am able to articulate my vision, as artists do, like Picasso. I'm an artist in that light. I went from being an artist to an artiste.
Usher
Image
It's a mission for me to make sure that philanthropy doesn't feel like a vintage hand-me-down from mom or dad. I want people to feel compelled to do something positive because they just love it, they're excited about it, and it's cool.
Usher
Image
I guess I had it made. My mother gave me advice - she taught me that women like to be looked in the eye - and my grandmother gave me condoms.

Strivers achieve what dreamers believe.
Usher
Image
It can never be bad to have a foundation as a man - a black man - in a time when women are dying for men. Women have started to become lovers of each other as a result of not having enough men.
Usher
Image
The hardest thing I think I've ever had to do to tell you, the woman I love, that I'm having a baby by a woman that I barely know.
Usher
Image
Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you're going out. Have your girlfriend clip your nails or something like that.
Usher
Image
You know, I like to release music the way I feel it, as opposed to having a date.
Usher
Image
It isn't hard to be in a relationship because I've always loved to be in a relationship, and I love to be in love.

In time we grow older, we grow wiser, we grow smarter, and we're better. And I feel like I'm becoming more seasoned, although I don't have my salt-and-pepper hair.
