The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.

I'm the most sampled and stolen. What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine, too... I got a song about that... But I'm never gonna release it. Don't want a war with the rappers. If it wasn't good, they wouldn't steal it.

Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all.

When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.

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

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

Sometimes, you like to let the hair do the talking!
