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 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.

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.

I probably wouldn't be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing, I didn't like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own.

There is no pain like the first time you get your heart broken.

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

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