I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.

Funkers are people who dig the funk; Little funkers, Big funkers, Old funkers, Young funkers, Foxy funkers, Mother funkers, Papa funkers.

KISS hammered home the importance of high drama...I decided to design my show with the same goal; I wanted my fans to remember my show for the rest of their lives.

I'm trying to change the root of funk, trying to make it more progressive, more melodic and more lyrically structured.

If anything I consider myself non-violent. I'm from the hippy era, peace, love, groovy.

I believe everything happens under God's plan anyway.
