"I can’t hide who I am. I can’t say things I don’t mean, say that I like things I hate, or that I hate things I like. And more than anything, I can’t lie to myself. Rather than dwelling upon things I can’t change, I’d rather develop the good things about me. So my dream isn’t to become the 'best', it’s to become someone I’m not ashamed to be." - SHINee Key, in interview for Dazed and Confused Korea, 2009.
