I'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.
James Brown
The hardest thing about being James Brown is I have to live. I don't have no down time.
James Brown
If you don't get it the first time, back up and try it again.
James Brown
My music wasn't written by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Schubert. It's written by God and me. They go a one and a two and up. We start on the downbeat. Bam! And that's where we got them.
James Brown
I've been held responsible for taxes I know nothing about.
James Brown
You can't teach others if you are living the same way.
James Brown
You got to live for yourself, yourself and nobody else.
James Brown
You're like a dull knife, just ain't cuttin', just talkin' loud and saying nothing
James Brown
Some like them fat, some like them tall, some like them short, skinny legs and all. I like them all.

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
I started Michael years ago. I saw him in Gary, Indiana, and we'd have him on the talent shows. He kind of emulated me, and did the best he could.
James Brown
When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.
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
Everybody over there, get on up. Everybody out there, get into it. Everybody right there, get involved.
James Brown
It doesn't matter how you travel it, it's the same road. It doesn't get any easier when you get bigger, it gets harder. And it will kill you if you let it.
James Brown
The white horse of heroin will ride you to hell.
James Brown
Money won't change you, but time will take you out.
James Brown
Like Christ said, love thee one another. I learned to do that, and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had.
James Brown
I've got soul and I'm super bad.
James Brown
