MAGAZINE: Chris Brown | Page Six

Chris Brown was featured in Page Six magazine for their March 10th issue. Check out some excerpts from his interview:

About being humble:

“People kind of get clouded, and then when they get up to the top,
they kind of lose a bit of themselves and they’re not as humble. So
knowing how it can be taken away and given back and taken away again,
it kind of just taught me to be focused.”

About his new record, F.A.M.E. (for Forgiving All My Enemies):

“Fame is what everybody seeks. I get an adrenaline rush from it. But
fame is basically love and hate all in one. Without bad there is no
good, without good there is no bad. Everybody who dissed me now wants
to say ‘Hey.’ They wanna get on the record. They wanna let me back in
the door. The last two years, everybody dissed me. But my fans were so
dedicated. The way I look at it is, you can’t walk around mad, because
then you just prove everybody right that you’re an angry person. So
‘F.A.M.E.’ means ‘Forgiving All My Enemies,’ and also ‘Fans Are My
Everything.’ I’m dedicating it to my fans.”

On ending apologies:

“People are always gonna talk. But I’m in a positive place. I consider
myself a grown-ass man. And at the end of the day, if I walk around
apologizing to everybody, I’m gonna look like a damn fool.”

“A handful of people stuck by me,” Chris says, referring to fellow
artists such as Pitbull and Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. “But when
[most] people see certain things happen to somebody, they usually turn
away. They don’t want to get involved with it because they don’t want
their name attached to anything negative. Unknowingly, they kind of
show their true colors when they do that. But you can’t blame people
for how they want to be portrayed or if they don’t want to be
associated with somebody who had a particular mishap.”
