Taeyeon Quotes: 

"So let's become best friends that don't get ashamed of each other but cherish and have plenty of care for each other." - Kim Taeyeon (SNSD Official Website, 10th Dec 2010)

"Actually when I'm depressed or feeling down, I seem to play quiet music and enjoy the time. So I listen to a lot of ballads and I try to enjoy the time with music." - Kim Taeyeon (Melon Special Interview, 31st Mar 2010)

"We can at least go backstage where it's cool and get rest, but the fans have to stay and watch in the heat. It's not me mom...it's the fans who have it hard." - Kim Taeyeon (during one of SNSD's concerts, as told by her mom to a fan)

"In the name of Dandyu, we punish all you tall people." - Lee Soonkyu and Kim Taeyeon (source unknown)

“These days it’s hard for all of us to get together. It’s been some time since we were able to get together and talk like this. Since we are nine members, a group with many members, we need to talk like this more but the members have so many individual schedules now." - Kim Taeyeon (Taeyeon's Birthday Party, 7th Mar 2010)

“From now on I will be loving more and more and I don’t think it will ever turn less.” - Kim Taeyeon (Taeyeon's Birthday Party, 7th Mar 2010)

"When I have the opportunity, I want to perform the guitar live for my fans. Please expect that!" - Kim Taeyeon (Y-Star Live Power Music, 2nd May 2010)

 "Between people who truly care and love each other, there are times where you don't need to say anything at all. Those emotions that are hard to express with words. Things like "I love you" and "Thank you"...you don't really need to say those words." - Kim Taeyeon (Taeyeon's Chin Chin Radio, 13th January 2009).

 "When there are hurtful times and sad times, I've come to find that there is no one else but these nine people here. Even really close oppas or manager oppas..if they're not in SNSD, no one really knows and understands. There were so many times like that and I wish that there will be no more times of hurt and sadness that brings us to tears... I love you, our SNSD." - Kim Taeyeon (Taeyeon's Chin Chin Radio, 13th January 2009).
