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.

My son don't have to say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. He don't have to be called those crazy names.

I've been knocked down a lot of times.

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 taught them everything they know, but not everything I know.

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 got a wife who likes expensive things, so she takes all the cash.

You can't teach others if you are living the same way.

I just thank God for all of the blessings.

I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he's going to be a lot better than I was.

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.

You can take care of yourself, and God helps those who help themselves.

The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.

I'd like to cut down on the work a little bit.

I think what I came through is great, but my son can take it to another level, not having to fight racism. His mother's a Norwegian and I'm mixed up four or five times, so he can face the world.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a preacher as well, 'cause I can really get into an audience.

When God took it, he accepted it; when he brought it back, he accepted it. That's what's happening with me.

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.

Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he's got it all.

My expectations of other people, I double them on myself.

Thank God for the journey.

You only live once.

For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.

I've always thought that if Israel really wanted to solve the problem, they'd just start tomorrow and push right to the Jordan River, and anything in their way goes. They don't need America or someone else to help.

So many people always try to help me carry my luggage and help me do things I can do myself. If I can do it myself, I'm going to do it myself. I'm not going to let other people do it for me, and I think that's a big part of where I came from. I'm not a real prissy girl.
