James Brown

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
You're like a dull knife, just ain't cuttin', just talkin' loud and saying nothing
James Brown
The white horse of heroin will ride you to hell.
James Brown
Tell the politicians and the hustlers: live and let live.
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
What everybody's looking for today, they're looking for escape-ism.
