Famous quotes by Rick James:

"If anything I consider myself non-violent, I'm from the hippy era, peace, love, groovy."

"The Grand Princess is going to have the first wedding chapel at sea where the captain can actually marry you and you can have your reception on board. The choices on board these ships are second-to-none, and I would challenge any resort vacation to deliver the type of vacations that these new grand-class ships are going to deliver."

"because he's black, he's rich and he's famous, and they've got nothing else better to do."

"Super Freak."

"Give It to Me Baby."

"You don't really know your own worth because you don't know what may happen tomorrow."

"After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll."

"I was angry about the fact that my father would beat my mother on a daily basis, that my mother would take it in turn and beat on me. I was an abused child. I was mad about all those things, very bitter and very angry."

"I'm very bitter about how I've been treated, there are some things I want to bring into the light, I'm glad I came here. This is the longest time I've been straight and sober. But if I wanted to get high tomorrow - my drug of choice-I could do it in this penitentiary. It comes with the territory. But I fight the feeling."

"You can't have rock and roll without drugs, you can't have rock and roll without sex."

"I think rap definitely has its place in the art world. I think it is an art form. But, just like any art form, you can misuse it."

"I had always been a free spirit and always gotten what I wanted."

"I'm really not tailored for responsibility."

"I went to India, lived, and studied."

"I was going to get drafted, but I didn't really want to go into the Army."

"I mean, Rick James was just a man-made image, the image I created. Just trying to live Rick James almost killed me."

"I'm trying to change the root of funk, trying to make it more progressive, more melodic and more lyrically structured."

"I just live one day at a time."

"I love kids."
