I've got to find local farmers and get natural foods.

I often call Daptone the Motown and Stax of today. But in some ways it's different. At Motown, a lot of the musicians didn't get recognized, music got stolen, and people didn't get paid. Or the label would just throw them a pinch of money for their songs. That is one thing we're not doing. Anything anyone writes here, we get a percentage.

Music is my happiness, my joy, and when my body wasn't right I couldn't get into my music without being healed, without being healthy.

Youth. The fact that, in the mid-'90s, guys like Lee Fields gave me and all these young people the chance to do backup. I was in my 30s, but some of those guys were still teenagers. Others were 22 and 23 - babies, all of them.

If God watches over a little sparrow, you know, if he takes care of the birds, a little sparrow. Here I am, one of his children, you know, he got so many of us down here. Human beings that send our faith up and believe. And if he watch over a sparrow, I know he watches over me.

I remember my sister and I - my big sister would get up on her chair in the kitchen and sing Mary Wells' What's Easy for Two Is So Hard for One. It was 1966, and I was 10 years old.

Juicing has helped me bring my pressure down. Organic natural foods, too.

There ain't no way I'm going to be droppin' nothing. If I was in my twenties, maybe. But now I try to keep it looking decent. I don't want to expose too much of my bare ass.

Image
My goal for these next few years, for the next forever, is to try and keep positive things around me. If somebody is coming at me with negative stuff, just back away from me.

Sometimes people look at our covers and say, That looks just like that other cover. I say, And? It reminds them of a cover from way back when. If you know the cover, then pull it out and compare it. I don't care. It's supposed to bring back memories.

Singing is my life. And when I can do that, that's when I'm free. That's when I'm at my happiest, I'm at my most.
Sharon Jones

I'm going to keep on keeping on as long as I've got my health and strength, and God gives me that will to do it.
Sharon Jones

I'm singing, you know, because I'm happy and I'm free.

I really can't wait to dance with Ellen DeGeneres!

I'm not planning on singing too late. Maybe another eight or 10 years is enough before I retire. It would also be great to revisit all these stunning places around the world where I have toured.

Being with the Dap-Kings is like being an athlete.

I've got these five-pound weights and a treadmill in the living room. I work out the other parts that have affected my voice: my diaphragm - doctors took mine out in surgery - and my lungs. I've got to build back my legs, too, so I can run across that stage. I've got a lot to do, but I'm going to get out, sing songs and tell the stories.
