"I'm like Shrek. Shrek's a nice guy, but people keep alienating him, like they did with me in my youn..." — CeeLo Green

I would like to be a gang leader on 'Sons of Anarchy' or own a lemonade stand on 'Boardwalk Empire.'

I'm a normal guy at heart. But on stage, they don't pay me for normal.

Predictability is the cousin of death: I don't necessarily want people to see me coming. You know?

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.
