 I got a wife who likes expensive things, so she takes all the cash. |
| I'd like to cut down on the work a little bit. |
| You only live once. |
| I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God. |
| I was stillborn. The midwives laid me aside, thought I was really gone. I laid there about an hour, and they picked me back up and tried again, 'cause my body was still warm. The Good Lord brought me back. |
| I've been held responsible for taxes I know nothing about. |
| Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all. |
| The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing. |
| Michael Jackson has a very good heart. He was crying when he was giving me the award, 'cause his mind went back over the early days. |
| 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. |
| When God took it, he accepted it; when he brought it back, he accepted it. That's what's happening with me. |
| 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. |
| Sometimes I feel like I'm a preacher as well, 'cause I can really get into an audience. |
| I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated. |
| 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. |
| You can't teach others if you are living the same way. |
| My expectations of other people, I double them on myself. |
| I think the best thing about being James Brown is looking at my little son. Hopefully I can make my son a role model to a lot of people. |
| I did the thing with bonds, which was about 30 million dollars, and didn't get none of the money on them. |
| 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. |
