Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't make them all yourself.
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
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
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
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.
Usher
Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life.
Usher
Normally you don't have the benefit of preparing someone to pay homage to you and what you've done in your life. Usually, you pass away and someone does a tribute to your character and who you were during a specific period of your life.
Usher
Giving a child an education is by far one of the most important investments we can make.
Usher
I'm so sad to hear the horrible news of Amy Winehouse's death. I'm so happy I knew you Amy...Rest Well. Gone Too Soon...we'll miss you!!
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
Success is all about having the confidence to shoot for something even if it seems impossible.
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
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
Success is measured by personal happiness.
Usher
Success is about dedication. You may not be where you want to be or do what you want to do when you're on the journey. But you've got to be willing to have vision and foresight that leads you to an incredible end.
Usher
If somebody steps on your shoes and ruins them, don't freak out.. get a new pair of shoes. If you miss something, don't freak out.. there's nothing you can do to change it.. just move on
Usher
The unique essence of being an artist is dying. Eveything looks the same. Now there’s a formula. And it works. - But it takes away from the reason we do it.
Usher
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.
Usher
I can win those four-chair turns all day.
Usher
I learned how music works dealing with Jermaine Dupri, and I learned how image works dealing with Puff Daddy.
