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

Some like them fat, some like them tall, some like them short, skinny legs and all. I like them all.

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

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

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.
