It doesn't matter how you travel it, it's the same road. It doesn't get any easier when you get bigger, it gets harder. And it will kill you if you let it.

When you touch me, good God.

In our advanced technological age, most people deny the possibility of miracles.... Miracles don't happen, we are told, because they contravene the laws of nature and worse, they sound religious! Yet we live and move in a sea of miracle.

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.

I used to play one job and have 125 pair of shoes on the floor. What was I doing? I couldn't wear but one pair.

Take those kids and raise them up, teach them how to drink out of a righteous cup.

I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he's going to be a lot better than I was.
