I used to skip school to go there when I was growing up in Newark,. . . I saw the Flamingos, the Heartbeats, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Jackson.
I'm always surprised that I'm still around funk and that people are still into it.
Just gimme some stage. I'll make my own way once I get there.
The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill.
I worked in a barbershop. I used to make the waves in the brother's hair, you know? Like, Nat King Cole, Sugar Ray Robinson.
I think a lot of people really have religious overtones of having come from somewhere. I mean, even the whole concept of religion is kind of alien.
Why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat?
You can rebel against everything adults say. When I want to find out what the new music is, I find out what parents hate.

The words I use too often are X-rated, something an old man like me shouldn't be talking about anyway.
Funk is fun. And it's also a state of mind,. . . But it's all the ramifications of that state of mind. Once you've done the best you can, funk it!
If you got a booty, you're going to dance to disco, funk, you know, whatever's going on. Funk is going to be involved in it.
Disco is funky when you take one record at a time. It's just that they narrowed it down to one beat to try to corner the market on a particular music. And when you do that with rhythm - talk about something that will get on your nerves. Try to make love with one stroke. Somebody will tell you to fax it in.
The desired effect is what you get when you improve your interplanetary funksmanship.
My ability has always been to walk out on the stage and see the audience and figure out what they wanna hear.
When I hear music that parents hate, or older musicians hate, I know that's the new music. When I hear older people saying, 'I hate Rap or Techno' I rush to it.
Funk 'em, just to see the look on their face.
Free your mind and your ass will follow
