Sleeping is forbidden at the age of 22. It's all work and no play.
Usher
I was very fortunate to be able to represent an icon to many African Americans.

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
Just because we have success in the moment, it doesn't mean anything.
Usher
I met BSB at a benefit gig we were both doing, and they are really humble, nice guys - and very hard working
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
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
I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace.
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
Success is all about having the confidence to shoot for something even if it seems impossible.
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
Down time is not the name of the game.
