I don't know nothing about politics. All I know is music. And I know how to make people dance.

I'm the hardest working man in show business. And I'm going to keep working hard until I can't work no more.

I'm a genius. I know I'm a genius. And I'm not afraid to say it.

I believe in one God, one love, one peace. And I believe in funk.

I ain't no superstar. I'm just a man who loves to sing and dance.

I'm a soldier for love. I'm a soldier for peace. And I'm a soldier for music.

I don't need no fancy clothes. I don't need no fancy cars. All I need is my music and my people.

I'm a black man, and I'm proud. And I'm going to keep on being proud until the day I die.

I believe in a woman's right to choose, but I also believe in a man's right to choose. And I believe in God's right to choose.

I never had no problems with white people. My problems was with the system.

I don't tolerate no disrespect. I don't tolerate no mess. I'm a man of respect.

I can't go to hell, I'm a good dancer.
