I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.

Music has to breathe and sweat. You have to play it live.

I think the best thing about being James Brown is looking at my little son. Hopefully I can make my son a role model to a lot of people.

My son don't have to say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. He don't have to be called those crazy names.

I had to tell about my colonic, which expresses the fact why I'm so neat today as opposed to a few years ago. I never knew that the weight made that much difference.

I want to say to you: Help yourself, so you can help someone else.

When you touch me, good God.
