I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July.

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

I'm finally locked into the now, and it's great.

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

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

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

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.
