Biography
"I think I'm needed — as an artist, as an individual, as an entity, an enigma, an exhibitionist, an entertainer — as an alternative."

- Gnarls Barkley performed "Crazy" at the 49th GRAMMY Awards in 2007. At the 53rd GRAMMYs, Green performed "F*** You" with the Muppets and Gwyneth Paltrow.
