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!

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.

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.

I could never be homophobic in any kind of way, dude. I'm such a free bird.

I have a hell-fire temper.

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.

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.

People have always questioned, Was I crazy? And I'm like, 'No, I'm not crazy. I'm just totally committed.'

I'm not trying to emulate or imitate. But I do believe that I embody that spirit from Robert Johnson on up.

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.
