"I don't need no vacation. My work is my vacation."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm James Brown. I'm the man."

"I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I just do music."

"I had to learn how to be a man, and the way I learned how to be a man was to learn how to be a black man. And that's a hard thing to do in America."

"I got to stay humble. That's the key to success."
