More quotes by Ne-Yo
I named my album Year of the Gentleman. Just looking at how the essence of what it is to be a gentleman is very much lacking nowadays. Someone said to me that chivalry is dead, and I hated to have to agree, but it's true.
Ne-Yo
I always refer back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the Rat Pack. Back when everyone wore a suit because that's what it was to be an entertainer. You were stylish and you were fly, and it was an effortless fly.
Ne-Yo
Women wanted to be viewed as equals to men. So men were like, 'You wanna be viewed as equal to me, then open your own damn door.' But I still don't view it as an excuse to be an a**hole.
Ne-Yo
Prince is the ultimate performer. Prince is that dude that's going to get on stage by himself, if he need to, but hold you in the palm of his hand. Like, you can't take your eyes off the man when he's on stage, and he could just be sitting there playing his guitar.
Ne-Yo
She's super sexy everybody wanna know bout her and the one that everybody want, but no one's ever got her. Because the way she get it in all of the men, even the women all try, all try.
Ne-Yo
Grab somebody sexy, tell the hey!
Ne-Yo
I want to write for people that are trying to do some kind of quality music. What I mean by quality music is not so much the trend, what is hot right now. I don't write trendy, I write what feels good and something that feels good will never get old. Timeless music is what I try to shoot for.
Ne-Yo
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.
Ne-Yo
I pride myself on being the type of artist who can work half in the R&B world and half in the pop world.
Ne-Yo
My mom was the picture of the blue-collar mom: Two and three and four jobs to make sure that me and my sister never needed, that was her thing
Ne-Yo
I do not cook. However, if I did, I'd cook all Italian food, all the time.
Ne-Yo
Sexy as she wanna be and she dancing next so close to me. I said please excuse, you steppin on expensive shoes.
Ne-Yo
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.
Ne-Yo
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
Ne-Yo
A lot of time we don't get into politics because we don't believe anything you're saying and we can't understand what you're saying because we ask you question and you tap dance around the issue so much that we forget what we asked.
Ne-Yo
I have my diehard R&B fans on one side of the spectrum and my diehard pop and dance fans on the other side of the spectrum.
Ne-Yo
I'm 100% real, even when what's real is ugly. I don't take any pride in covering up, hiding and lying.
Ne-Yo
That is the difference between a good song and a bad song lyrically - if you can listen to it and put yourself in that place, or see that person in that place, normally it is a pretty good song.
Ne-Yo
I feel like everything is inspired by something else. There is no 100 percent original thought.
Ne-Yo
Every song I've ever written has been based in reality, based in fact, things that happen to me.
Ne-Yo
