Punk Funk means to be one with yourself. To be rebellious, aggressive, able to do and say what you feel at all times, without inflicting mental or spiritual pain.

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

My music is pretty honest. I can't rap on science fiction. Punk is from the street.

I love marijuana - Mary Jane - and you can print that! I smoke it every day and it's the greatest thing since ice cream and I'm not afraid to say it.

Anybody that's old and closed-minded does not like Rick James... They don't like the fact that I'm free and I'm wide open.

I went to India, lived, and studied.

I'm too old to do crazy things anymore.
