More quotes by Usher
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
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
Strivers achieve what dreamers believe.
Usher
I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace.
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
I wouldn't call myself a coward, no way. But being buried alive is something I could never handle. The only way you'd see me being buried alive is if I was dead, man.
Usher
You know, I like to release music the way I feel it, as opposed to having a date.
Usher
The idea of dates, boxes, categories are very scary for me.
Usher
Success is measured by personal happiness.
Usher
I think anybody, not just children, is a product of a great environment. If you put them in a better environment from a sad situation, nine times out of 10, they'll go in the right direction.
Usher
The beauty about living in Atlanta is that there aren't too many paparazzi here you can just relax. And that really works for me and my children.
Usher
Live performance has always been my thing. It’s my purpose to master and capture the moment every time I have you connected.
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.
Usher
Just because we have success in the moment, it doesn't mean anything.
Usher
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
My philosophy is I'm raising future adults, not children.
Usher
You either evolve or dissolve.
Usher
I can win those four-chair turns all day.
Usher
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.
Usher
There's always that one person, That will always have your heart. That one person for me is you.
