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.

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

Music definitely gave me a focus. I was an artist without an outlet. Let's just say if I was not famous, I could have been infamous. I could've had my own episode of 'American Gangster.'
