Retire for what? What would I do? I made my name as a person that is helping. I'm like Moses in the music business..

I don't know karate, but I know crazy..

I don't know karate, but I know ka-razy!.

For goodness sake, look at those cakes..

Thank God that I had the ability to understand that I had a different beat and that I was a drummer..

I just thank God for all of the blessings..

We can never be like it was at Penn State with Joe Paterno. That was an anomaly in an of itself..

Money won't change you, but time will take you out..

I've been held responsible for taxes I know nothing about..

Takes a man or a woman to say I'm sorry, and it takes a fool to walk away..

Music, it requires more than brawn. It requires a lot of heart. You gotta put love in there..

My son don't have to say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. He don't have to be called those crazy names..

Papa didn't cuss, he didn't raise a whole lot of fuss. But when we did wrong, Papa beat the hell out of us..

If you don't get it the first time, back up and try it again..

As I always said, if people wanted to know who James Brown is, all they have to do is listen to my music..

I've been knocked down a lot of times..

Our silence is deafening and deadly..

I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated..

This is a revolution of the mind, get your mind together and get away from drugs..

I Don’t Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door, I'll Get It Myself).

Thank God for the journey..
