Emotion is something that you don’t simply receive. Emotion is compelled. Other than that, we’re just shells until we’re possessed or reanimated from time to time by different emotions. – 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. – CeeLo Green
Antique things have an appreciation and worth. Something can be old, but it can be timeless; therefore, it becomes an antique. If this antique is preserved and deemed precious, it could be passed down as a family heirloom. – 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. – CeeLo Green
I may sample at Pinkberry, but when I find a flavor I like, I’m pretty committed to it. – 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. – 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. – 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? – 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. – CeeLo Green
I’ve been such an oddball my whole life, but I’ve always been cool and I’ve always dressed fairly smartly. – 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? – 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. – CeeLo Green
On a good day I think I’m handsome, on an average day I’m average. I’m a man’s man so I don’t necessarily know how cute we’re supposed to be. – 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. – 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! – 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. – 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. – 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. – 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. – 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. – CeeLo Green
I think I wanted to be a punk-rocker before I wanted to be anything else. I remember wanting a mohawk, and I wanted to cut the sleeves off of my jean jacket because I used to want to be Dirty Dan from Sha-Na-Na. This is before hip-hop was even around. I had the skinny piano tie. I had it, man. – 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. – CeeLo Green
People have always questioned, Was I crazy? And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not crazy. I’m just totally committed.’ – CeeLo Green
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. – CeeLo Green
