More quotes by James Brown
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.
James Brown

James Brown
Some like them fat, some like them tall, some like them short, skinny legs and all. I like them all.
James Brown

James Brown
I've got soul and I'm super bad.
James Brown
As I always said, if people wanted to know who James Brown is, all they have to do is listen to my music.
James Brown
I'm a ghetto man who made good. I never forgot where I came from and who put me on top - God and Jack The Rapper.
James Brown
Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.
James Brown
Music, it requires more than brawn. It requires a lot of heart. You gotta put love in there.
