ItalianoGACKT QUOTES
My fans follow me believing not only in my music, but also in my way of thinking and living. Everyone who says “That’s why he’s GACKT” is my precious family.
***
I’m not interested in being number one, but in being the only one.
***
Tears are not a woman’s power. Her smile is.
***
Flings are something you look for; love is something you give. When you stop looking for it from your partner and become able to give it freely, that’s when love begins, right?
***
With every moment of sadness, a woman becomes more beautiful. I wonder if with every moment of sadness, a man becomes stronger.
***
If there were a woman as kind and sweet as Hyde, I think I would fall in love with her.
***
Well… I hate stupid people… but I truly love stupid people. I don’t really like people who are falsely wise, but I love people who are truly wise.
***
Dream! Not only when you’re asleep, but when you’re awake…
***
A long time ago, when I was badly injured and lost a lot of blood, the members of my band saw the blood coming out and said, “Oh… Gaku’s blood… it’s red… just like ours,” and I was like, HEY.
***
“They will understand me” is all nonsense. Everything is over the moment you forget the feeling of conveying emotions to someone else.
***
It’s not that I want to win, I just don’t want to lose.
***
If I had to go on a date with someone here, it would be… Matsumoto Jun.
***
I will betray your expectations and answer your anticipations.
***
Don’t worry, I won’t hit you, but my fans might kick you.
***
In both relationships and friendships, what matters is how much you love the other person.
***
“One of my wishes is to die on stage.” At first I didn’t understand the meaning of those words, but now I do. When I die, it will be on stage!!
***
I like both men and women as long as they are beautiful. I would be so happy if everyone in the world became cute.
***
A woman’s flexibility and a man’s strength… put them together and you get a body like mine.
***
Maybe there are flowers that are afraid of falling, but it’s precisely because flowers fall that they are beautiful.
***
It’s precisely because we are human that we have the power to change our destiny. So let’s change it together.
***
It’s not that I like men in a sexual way; I just know how to admit when they’re beautiful. Sexually, though, I need a woman.
***
We’d be better off if we only had the words “I love you.”
***
In the end, those who want to sing, sing. Those who want to dance, dance. Those who want to leave, LEAVE!
***
Problems are the greatest aphrodisiacs.
***
The brightest place in my house is the bathroom.
***
If you have doubts every time you take a step forward, you will definitely have regrets.
***
Time never changes your path.
***
Life is interesting because there are things I’m not good at. It’s interesting to challenge yourself with those things, isn’t it? Someone who’s good at everything would be boring. It’s the spice that makes life fun.
***
I choose to leave myself in memories rather than in recordings.
***
And women, make sure to remain delicious for us.
***
No one will destroy the feelings I have for my family. I love everyone.
***
Nationality is irrelevant, right? Because there are only “men” and “women” in this world. Do you choose your partner’s nationality when you fall in love? No. When you fall in love, your souls are drawn to each other. Right?
***
If you keep your head up and smile, there will be people who respond to that. A chain of smiles. Try it.
***
I was sinking deep into the water. The light in the water was getting darker and darker… I thought I was going to die there. I apologized to the people dear to me — “I’m sorry for dying like this” — to my band members and my fans. There was a moment when I thought, “This is it… goodbye everyone… Oh wait, when was the last time I had sex??”
***
The potential of humanity is not something that small! I’ll prove it to you.
***
My enemies are: sugar, cockroaches… and then women (laughs).
***
I take the world that exists inside me and pull it out like some kind of automatic translator. The music and the words I give you are nothing more than translations.
***
We only have one life to live. Since we all have the potential to succeed, I hope all of us can truly act on that and live that possibility.
***
The stage is where your true soul and heart are revealed.
***
Life is made up of only about 50 meaningful interactions a year. One day repeats itself 365 times, with 24 hours in each, 60 seconds in a minute… Do you understand what I’m trying to say? What a person paints in their mind at that moment becomes their life. It becomes their reality.
***
This is how I think: you can’t have everything all at once. Like the pockets in your clothes, there’s a limit to what you can carry at one time. When you put something new into your pockets, there are moments when you have to throw something else away. You have to set priorities. There are things you can never get back once you’ve thrown them away.
***
I’ve always thought of it this way: instead of being the sun for someone and lighting up everything around them, I want to be the moon — lighting just a small part of the road ahead when they are lost or insecure in the darkness, and always being there when they look up. That is my way of living.
***
I want to arrive at my own live concert flying in by helicopter. I want to challenge myself with things that no one else can do, or thinks are stupid.
***
You should be able to cry whenever you want. But what matters are the actions you take after you’re done crying. If you cried out of frustration, then get your ass up and work. If you cried out of sadness, then without forgetting your pain, be kind to someone else. That’s how it is.
***
The world is made mostly of people who think “I can’t do it,” and “I can’t” becomes the standard. If you don’t go beyond that, there’s a risk of being trapped in the “chain of I can’t.”
***
Friends are the people with whom you share fun moments.
***
Being able to love is a wonderful thing. Why don’t you start by being grateful that you fell in love?
***
They were filming me because I’m a ROCK STAR!
***
I live for rock. I founded YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz. I live for the samurai mindset, karate, and taekwondo. Wrestling… only with women, hahaha.
***
A woman who can enjoy herself alone, who appreciates her own company and takes time to get to know herself, is ready to share her life with someone else and will be able to take the time to truly get to know a man.
***
You can love other nations because you love your own from the depths of your heart. If you don’t know your own culture, you can never share it with other nations, right? Can someone who doesn’t value their own family ever be kind to people from other families?
