To lose my mother just as I'm right on the brink of crossing that threshold over into a career, it was pretty compelling. My entire career is my mother's work, for me.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I was one of those kids, inner-city youth and finding my way. I made it. I made a success out of myself, surprisingly.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
Music is a means of spreading the good word and spreading positivity and productivity. Those things speak to me.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
You can't be all of the people you're influenced by, so you make your own filter and create your own beautiful, unique thing in the world. Soak up the world, man, and make something of your own.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I'm not trying to emulate or imitate. But I do believe that I embody that spirit from Robert Johnson on up.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I'm drawn to the unconventional because I've been drawn unconventionally. I believe that I'm supposed to topple over these false images of what's idealistically beautiful. Because, of course, these intangible qualities are very attractive to women. Sincerity. Sense of humor. Success.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
My varied listening palette is all-inclusive of all walks of life. No one individual is exempt from the human experience, so it is that intangible that is a universal truth. In that regard, I've had success in encapsulating something cosmic.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I would like to be a gang leader on 'Sons of Anarchy' or own a lemonade stand on 'Boardwalk Empire.'
Quote by -CeeLo Green
Predictability is the cousin of death: I don't necessarily want people to see me coming. You know?
Quote by -CeeLo Green
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.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I am a rare occasion. I think if everyone had known it was going be me who succeeded, they would have supported me a lot more. They would have known what to do with me a lot earlier. They just didn't know.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
Ultimately, I'm a fan of music. I describe writing music sometimes as hieroglyphics, like, you know, excavating, gently brushing off these artifacts and discovering the song underneath it all. It seems as if it is already written in it.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I believe that the plight of life and all existence is to master one's self, you know, one day at a time.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
The fact that you can love something that's lost is all of the incentive that you'll ever need to love again as opposed to becoming comfortably numb.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I want to burn as a beacon of possibility. I don't want nobody to misconstrue the commercial success I've had as anything other than an example of what black music is capable of. And what it's capable of is being more than just black. I'm not black or white anymore. I'm Cee Lo Green.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
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.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
My first rap name was Ralo. Because my first name is Carlos. I likened myself to what Busta Rhymes was doing when he first came out. And what Onyx did when they first came out - they reminded me of me.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
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.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I have done quite a few things that I'm not proud of. But now I can equate it to artistry without an outlet. At school, I couldn't help but colour outside the lines. My passion just caused my reactions to be that much more volatile.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
All I'll say is... I'm at a point in life when nothing feels shocking to me. I need something to shock me! I'm almost ready to see a U.F.O.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
People have always questioned, Was I crazy? And I'm like, 'No, I'm not crazy. I'm just totally committed.'
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I do like the ladies an awful lot. Surprisingly enough, it turns out ladies like me back; I'm a really good guy.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
In my opinion, hip-hop has a lot to do with rock and roll, because at one point it was considered an alternative - edgy, independent. Hip-hop is pots and pans the way that punk is garage. You make something out of nothing.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I think I'm needed - as an artist, as an individual, as an entity, an enigma, an exhibitionist, an entertainer - as an alternative.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I may sample at Pinkberry, but when I find a flavor I like, I'm pretty committed to it.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I don't eat a lot of junk food anymore, but I sure remember it. I used to go through boxes of Little Debbies. I liked Star Crunch, and of course those oatmeal pies.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I'm all about taking chances. You have to ask yourself, if you're not taking any chances, are you actually even living? Every time you walk out of your door and you're out in the world, you take a chance on not coming back. That is the danger and the dynamic of being alive.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
My style is ambiguous and lucid. I wish to be signified but not summed up. I don't want to have to go over the top each time.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
When it comes to the stage, I can't help but be inspired by people like George Clinton, Elton John and Alice Cooper.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
There was a time when I didn't like myself at all. I thought I was a cruel joke. But now I've come to realise that maybe I am not cute, but I am beautiful.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I'm not allowed to be as liberal as I would like to be, you know? I'd do a lot more damage if I could!
Quote by -CeeLo Green
Music saved my life. The voice you hear, the soul, the pain, is that of a person who deeply, deeply, deeply appreciates the opportunity they've been given.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
But I still feel like a normal person... I've walked the streets and I know what it feels like. I speak with humility, and apparently those songs connect with people.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
Well, I've cleaned bathrooms in a warehouse. That was pretty terrible. But I can't complain because I'm sure other people have done worse.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
Twitter is a form of free speech, and I'm all for that. But if Cee Lo Green, a maverick of sorts, can't get on Twitter and say something outlandish or outrageous, then what is the whole point of Twitter at all?
Quote by -CeeLo Green
I don't judge people. I don't even judge people on 'The Voice.' I'm a coach. I'm there for constructive criticism and to aid and abet and discover new talent.
Quote by -CeeLo Green
My insurance provider probably wouldn't allow me to go into a mosh pit anymore. My brain is insured by Lloyd's of London, you know what I'm saying?
