I've got soul and I'm super bad.
James Brown
Some like them fat, some like them tall, some like them short, skinny legs and all. I like them all.
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
I don't really care what people think, ... I just do my own thing. ... I like being loud and letting people know I'm there.
James Brown

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 had to tell about my colonic, which expresses the fact why I'm so neat today as opposed to a few years ago. I never knew that the weight made that much difference.
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
Thank God for the journey.
James Brown
