CeeLo Green

I related to 'A Clockwork Orange' in a personal way. I was a bit of a thug growing up. It's taken some reform for me. Thank God for artistry and creativity as an outlet. ”

So many of the bands that influenced me growing up were English, even if I didn't realise it. English pop ruled the world in the '80s! ”

Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed. ”

All art stems from a place of alienation. Intimate and alone. Most people are oppressed by the opinion of others, but I was not that way. I was afraid of the repercussions of not doing what I was told to do, what I was called to do by a creator. ”

I do like the ladies an awful lot. Surprisingly enough, it turns out ladies like me back; I'm a really good guy. ”

Rock n' roll is not just a fashion statement; it is the attitude, and it has a political posturing as well. ”

I have one thing that I'm saving for my son. It's a 1965 Chevy Impala Super Sport. It's a beautiful sea-foam green color. It's like a teal green, white interior, and it's just a gorgeous car. ”

I'm a little lavish I must admit. But I'm not really concerned with money. Being rich is not my goal, being wealthy is. ”

I get a kick out of not being ideal. I think it's awesome. That's entirely the point. And I think my creator is quite a character for letting that be. ”

Honestly, this face of mine will always be familiar to people. It's that unique quality, man. If it's a dark and crowded room, people are just able to point me out. I think I'll always be famous. I just hope I don't become infamous. ”
