I believe everything happens under God's plan anyway.

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

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.

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

You and I, we'll be together 'til the six is nine.

I'm too old to do crazy things anymore.

I had $20 million in the bank, girls are following me all over the f - place, people call my name everywhere I go. What would I change? And then one day you get onstage and you see two little girls who look like they are 11 years old sticking their tongues out and pulling their bras down and you quit touring. That's what happened to me.
