I always want to put out an album when I know what it's going to be about. I don't want to throw in all these random songs and say, 'Okay, that's an album.'

I find love is the most vital part of life, of my art.
Our first album sold a million copies. Because we had such a big hit on the first album, it's always like, 'You can't top the first album.'
I grew up listening to such strong female solo artists. I love Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears.
I don't know when, but I do want to get married and have kids.
Shooting the music video for 'Party' on Thailand's Ko Samui Island was such a blast.
None of Girls' Generation would be possible without the fans.
TTS was the unit that I was directly involved with the productions, and I'm still really, really proud of what we had put together, not just visually but musically at that time and age.
If we have good opportunities to perform in the U.S., Europe, or South America, we are more than glad to go and perform there.
I love Kanye.
I'm kind of glad that, over the years, K-pop has really been going into a much more global audience. Especially since I really am leaning towards pursuing the American music market.
YouTube is mine and your best friend.
I'm just thankful that we were able to reach out to so many different fans that didn't know what our music was.
I look up to the Spice Girls. I love the fact they're still close; they went after what they wanted but still support each other.
Visually, I find that 'Gee' and 'Genie' from the 2009 era is what made Girls' Generation such an iconic image.
I think I wanted my solo debut to be very unpredictable.
I am a hopeless romantic.
I'd like to pursue music back home because I still tend to express myself better through my mother language - English - and it's something I've been dreaming about and would like to achieve.
We like music that's strong and upbeat.
It's nice to know to I have friends that truly support and believe in me, and to go back home and see those that knew me before all this happened.
I think the real exciting part about becoming a solo artist is that you get to really decide on what your new sound and what your new message will be.
I think it's exciting that fans can immediately pick up on what my music is about and what I'm leaning towards: that they get to actually feel it.
American culture is so open compared to Korean culture, which is really conservative.
It was not easy, but I think Girls' Generation members showed each other a lot of sacrifice, dedication, and responsibility.
There were so many more opportunities in K-pop for a young Asian American singer.
I think that there are a lot of songs that are my favorite, but in terms of personal style, I still look back on the unit TTS.
The best thing about a platform like YouTube is that it helps musicians all around the world to reach such a vast audience.
I express myself better when I'm singing, so I always want to hold on to the music side.
Personally, I'm a big fan of Ryan Tedder. He has amazing music.
Coming back to America to pursue music is a dream.
