I went to India, lived, and studied.

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.

I feel that I have to say something in a song and that it's not just enough to lay down the music.

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

I just live one day at a time.

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

After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll.
