Brown: "Whether it be personal or musical, I just think I'm a walking art piece, just a ball of creativity."

Brown: "I would say I'm an inspirational guidelines book. You can take my life story or scenarios or songs and relate to them and apply them to your everyday life."

Brown: "Follow your dreams. Just make sure to have fun too."

Brown: "My mom told me as a youngster I was always intellectual, like as far as being able to adapt fast and quick. But I had a fun childhood, went to regular school."

Brown: "I love attention. If I see a gang of girls? That makes me dance even more!"

Brown: "Having the right people around you all the time is important. I do take the acting seriously. But this is all fun. I look at it like smoke and mirrors. I still think it's a dream, but I ain't pinching myself yet."

Brown: "I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be."

Brown: "My first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing. I was rolling with the punches because everything was new to me."

Brown: "I think the key is basically just your determination. As far an artist is concerned, it's just about your drive and your dream."

Brown: "My personal life is the same. At the end of the day, this is just a job. I love what I do, and it's a great job. But it's like my alter ego. There's Chris Brown the singer. And there's Christopher Brown, the down-home Tappahannock boy that plays video games and basketball and hangs out."

Brown: "Since I'm always working, my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family."

Brown: "I like low-maintenance girls, but at the same time, classy. She needs to take care of herself. But also be a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and play basketball, so it's cool if she's a tomboy."

Brown: "I used to feel so shy speaking to girls. It was even worse when they were around their crew because they would diss me."

Brown: "I love sneakers on a girl. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I'm still a young. I really like just like a girl who has style - a girl who does her own thing, is unique in what she's wearing and works what she's got."

Brown: "My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully."

Brown: "Loving is doing anything for them, thinking about them constantly and being able to spend your whole life with that person. Liking somebody is just like, 'Okay, I like them because of this, this and this, but I don't know if I am ready to be in love with them'."
