I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.

I only wore makeup when I went onstage.

I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.

I got fame and fortune, and I lost my sense of reasoning.

It's hard to have a friend when your name's a household word.

I've never seen the devil create music.

I thank God for making me a man.
