“'Madden' is the closest thing to actually being on the field yourself....” — Ne-Yo Quote

'Madden' is the closest thing to actually being on the field yourself. It's so ridiculously realistic. Before I play it, I honestly didn't understand. 'What's all the hype? It's a video game'. Then I sat down and played it, and you feel like you're on the field.

I would've given my right arm to do something on the 'Ray' film, the movie about Ray Charles.

In my mind, I was still Chimere's father. I was there when he was born. I saw him when he first came out. I held him. He was my kid.

I'm good but not great at 'Madden'. I have friends that their whole life is based around this video game.

Movies take a long time because movies take a long damn time to put work into. Whereas music, you don't have as much time. I didn't realize that.

The piano is the closest instrument to me in my life, so it's just natural to play my pieces on the piano.

Wouldn't you say that most of us are a reflection of or a reaction to the people who have been closest to us? I'm a reflection of my grandmother.

I have a group of friends in my life, and we all give each other something different. I've known my two closest friends for many years. One is a friend from high school, and the other I met right after college. My deep, deep friends remind me every day of the good parts of my personality.

I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me. Further than this, I know what they mean, I sympathize with them, I understand them. There should be a name (as poetic as love) for this relationship between loather and loathed; it is of the closest and more full of passion than incest.
