"We all have different personalities so I want to learn a lot, but my personality is the complete opposite of Taeyang's. I'm more indifferent or straightforward at times while Taeyang nicely and kindly comforts people. I want to have that kind of inner warmth that Taeyang has." (which other member he wants to learn from)

"I break out of conforming to what people want. Even though it might look funny to other people, I try to play up my own individuality. I try new styles a lot and I think people are fascinated by them so they compliment me." (on his nicknames for how he dresses well/secret to being stylish)

"Sometimes they pull out our hair and then run to pick it up. Also when we get into our car to get to schedules and stuff they throw gifts at us and it hurts a lot when we get hit by them. One person even came up to our apartment and put their ear on our door trying to eavesdrop. If they would give us a bit more privacy that'd be good."(on what he wants fans to stop doing or less of)

"G-Dragon emphasized that he chose Ivy as his ideal girl because he's a fan of hers. He said, "I've seen her dance once up close and rather than just simply saying that she dances good, I was surprised at how she made the feel of the dance come alive," and answered, "My ideal girl is actually a stylish girl."" (on his ideal celebrity girl with Newsen 2006)

"Leader G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong)'s ideal girl is a stylish girl. G-dragon has strong sences in style within the group so whenever a girl's style catches his eyes first. With that, he added

"I don't go for looks. I want someone who understands me and have a lot in common. I don't look at outside appearance but if I look at the person I like, they seem to be pretty." (laughs) (on his ideal girl with OSEN 2006)
