My style is mainly about comfort. It has to be comfortable, it has to lay right on me, know what I mean?

I feel like everything is inspired by something else. There is no 100 percent original thought.

I honestly don't feel that it's my music that's under-appreciated. I think that it's me that's under-appreciated. As an artist, period.

I wanted to do an acting role in a movie that had nothing to do with the music business or in which I would play a singer or a songwriter. When I act, I don't even want to be thought of as Ne-Yo.

What I definitely learnt from Michael Jackson is that simple is almost always better. As a songwriter, as an artist period.

Grab somebody sexy, tell the hey!

Michael Jackson will live forever through the thing that he put all of his life energy into: his music. I will do my part to keep the melody alive, to keep the energy forever changing form, but never ever dying!! Long live Michael Jackson.
