I want to sit in my own sorrow, cry it out, talk to God, and say, 'Give me strength, wisdom.'

I'm 63 now, and I need to take care of myself so that I can continue to perform at my best.

If we start putting music out constantly where people don't think no more, people go crazy. We're gonna lose the love of heart, of soul. And if the world lose that, I think the world is doomed.

Honestly, I've been excited for music ever since I was 16 years old. I'll always love the music.

James Brown came from that hard, rough life that I came from. He took the blues and added rhythm to it. And he always had the most funkiest band; I liked the way he took his words and mixed it in with the band.

Peforming as James Brown, I didn't really have to go deep in my soul the way I do as Charles Bradley.

Give your love and never change. Be willing to die for the love you carry inside.

With James Brown, I just learn the lyrics and then get out there and get funky with it and let my spirit free. But doing Charles Bradley, it's a lot of true, intimate words coming out of me that show me the picture inside myself.

What I hope is if you turn on the news tonight, I want to find a way to stop all this corruption I see.

I was 14, and I left on my own. Living in a subway train, and police used to come in with a nightstick and say, 'You can't sleep here.' I'd get up and go across the street, get on another train, and go back the other way.
