James Brown opened at least six of our House of Blues clubs. He always delivered, but he demanded the respect of an emperor. But, come on, he's James Brown ! ... I got to play on stage with him. Did he ever fine me ? (Brown was known to fine players for flubbing notes or steps) - I would have loved to have been fined by James Brown !

You do not need a therapist if you own a motorcycle, any kind of motorcycle!

My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile.

I love to come in and play with a wig or glasses or clothes. I love using props. I'm from the Peter Sellers school of trying to prepare for the character.

Personally, I liked working for the university. They gave us money and facilities. We didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector ... they expect results!

I like really good movies, but I can enjoy a really bad movie, too.

I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts.
