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.

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

I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.

I was a James Brown junkie as a kid.

When I think of my version of a role model, it's not about being the perfect Samaritan; it's just being out there and being honest and happily imperfect.

Being a role model is about being true to myself.
