Skid marks all across my brain, cause you're leaving me with so much pain. I was pretty sure that you could be the one, now it is evident that it was hit and run.

More quotes by Bootsy Collins
Sacred spirit of love, fall down on me from above.
Bootsy Collins
We were brash young fellows. I was always hanging with the older crowd anyway. The musicians were the Hip Cats, and I was hanging with them anyway. I Just started out real early.
Bootsy Collins
I come equipped with stereophonic funk producin´ disco inducin´ twin magnetic rock receptors.
Bootsy Collins
I try to bring it across on my record, in my dress, in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I'm here for.
Bootsy Collins
Recording wasn't as important to me as actually being to get on stage and act the fool.
Bootsy Collins
There's a magical layer of love that's laced, designed to take us to a higher place.
Bootsy Collins
When you're used to playing with people, when you're in a band, then you're used to playing with each other. People nowadays aren't used to playing with each other because they don't have to.
Bootsy Collins
We learn a lot, but the actions we don't put behind those things that we learn and we continue to make the same mistakes.
Bootsy Collins
When I was coming up, we weren't trying to get a hit or get paid, we were just trying to do our thing. The only thing we were really trying to do was to be recognized for our originality.
Bootsy Collins
The secret to walkin´ on water is knowing where the rocks are.
Bootsy Collins
I wanna keep creating those situations for myself so I don't have to be out front all the time. Then when I do have to be out front, I can do it to the max.
Bootsy Collins
During the course of the day, I write things down, things I don't do anything with. Then, when I get ready to start recording, I just look through my books and I see if I can find something that stands out. That's how I come up with the off-the-wall-kinda-strange-indirect-stuff.
Bootsy Collins
Yeah, because what it all boils down to is at the end of the day, we are all riding on the same boat and we have to learn how to deal with each other. I think that the music and what we do in our actions is what can kind of bring us together, hopefully.
Bootsy Collins
Once you lose that musician part -not just the playing, I'm talking about musician attitude- then you're lost, man. Especially if you started out that way. It feels so good to be back, starting from the ground up.
Bootsy Collins
We are the greatest computers in this world, but now we've created the smart phone which is smarter than us now, but we're still making dumb decisions. We have given our creations more power than we have, and that to me is dumb.
Bootsy Collins
I wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.
Bootsy Collins
But I'm always trying to plan ahead too and in doing so, and in working on this album, I've met a lot people that I hope to be involved with, on their records and in their situations.
Bootsy Collins
You have to get up and plant the seed and see if it grows, but you cant just wait around, you have to water it and take care of it.
Bootsy Collins
Catfish is not playing guitar no more, he's doing like a home-front thing. He had been in the business around ten years before I got in it, so I guess he's had enough of it.
Bootsy Collins
I've thought maybe of getting younger artists out doing stuff, like I used to do a lot of. I don't wanna do it day in and day out like I used to, but I still wanna do it.
Bootsy Collins
