For my generation, the bomber jacket is like a replacement for the suit jacket. It's a piece that men wear every day, and it's something that I would wear for any occasion, whether it's on the street or going to an awards ceremony. -The Weeknd Men
I feel like the way I was raised was to be able to see through all the titles in this world - from religion to race. -The Weeknd Religion
I want to make pop cool again, and the only way I can do that is by being ambitious and grand. -The Weeknd Cool
The Joker is my favorite villain of all time: You don't know his past; you just know what his plans are. -The Weeknd Time
Prince turned experimental music into pop music. 'When Doves Cry,' the whole 'Purple Rain' soundtrack - he was inspired by the Cocteau Twins and new wave pop and brought it into R&B when he first started, and then it became this cool, next-level, kind of hard-to-digest music. Which is what I felt 'House of Balloons' was. -The Weeknd Cool
For me, bomber jackets are smart, but they are also street and have a lot of attitude. -The Weeknd Attitude
