I'm not that good looking.

If I say, ‘Hey, I’m Psy.’ ‘Psy?’ ‘The guy from the video on YouTube?’ ‘Oh.’ I hate that. I’ve got to be more popular than the video. So I need to keep promoting myself.

The basic principle I have is that what is most Korean is what is the most international. I don’t want to come here and act like I’m an American. I want to showcase the dynamic potential Korea has, and I want to prove that as an artist.

All the people in Korea are cheering me like I’m a gold medalist or something, so I have a responsibility to my country.

There’s no time to be bored. I’m so busy doing the horse dance.

My original name is Jae-Sang Park, so it’s totally different.

As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I’m a very positive person.

The fact that I’m shouting that I have Gangnam style makes people crack up. Imagine if Brad Pitt was singing the song – would it be funny? A twist is important when it comes to writing lyrics.

I like the word ‘artist,’ but I don’t like the word ‘artist’ inside my house.

Before ‘Gangnam Style’ I was not a good attitude artist.
