The hardest thing about being James Brown is I have to live. I don't have no down time.

I was a James Brown junkie as a kid.

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.

In the '60s, you know, you had this -- you'd have, you know, James Brown on the same show with Alan King, and that was -- that made perfect sense, and it still makes perfect sense,

The hardest thing for me is restraint.

The hardest thing to do is something that is close to nothing.
