Music, it requires more than brawn. It requires a lot of heart. You gotta put love in there.

Retire for what? What would I do? I made my name as a person that is helping. I'm like Moses in the music business.

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

My music wasn't written by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Schubert. It's written by God and me. They go "a one and a two and up." We start on the downbeat. Bam! And that's where we got them.

I just thank God for all of the blessings.

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.

I've got soul and I'm super bad.
