I'm a long way from Ike Turner.

If I told you Jesus Christ was black you're going to be afraid of me because I'm telling you the truth. That's where I always come from.

I don't think the white establishment will ever respect or appreciate a black man who speaks the truth.

I believe everything happens under God's plan anyway.

You can't have rock and roll without drugs, you can't have rock and roll without sex.

I didn't even think I would make it that long. I thought I would drug overdose, like Jimi Hendrix. I thank God every day to even be here.

I was going to get drafted, but I didn't really want to go into the Army.
