I feel there is always room for good music. I want to reach people's soul with my lyrics through whatever vessel God chooses.

I don't want to call myself a perfectionist because perfection is imperfection.

If you want to be successful, you have to be the best person doing it. And in order to be the best person doing it, you have to get your work ethic right and keep going.

I pride myself on being the type of artist who can work half in the R&B world and half in the pop world.

For the first few years of my life my mom used to cut my hair so there were a lot of bowl-cut hair styles

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

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.
