"I love rap." — Rick James

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 finally locked into the now, and it's great.

I just live one day at a time.

I went to India, lived, and studied.

I'm really not tailored for responsibility.

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

I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.
