Michael Jackson has a very good heart. He was crying when he was giving me the award, 'cause his mind went back over the early days.

My expectations of other people, I double them on myself.

Takes a man or a woman to say I'm sorry, and it takes a fool to walk away.

I don't really care what people think, ... I just do my own thing. ... I like being loud and letting people know I'm there.

I only got a seventh-grade education, but I have a doctorate in funk, and I like to put that to good use

If you don't get it the first time, back up and try it again.

Thank God that I had the ability to understand that I had a different beat and that I was a drummer.
