James Brown Was One Of The First Artists Who Found Four Bars That He Liked And Played Them The Entire Way Through, And Then He Just Added To It Vocally.

My Goal Was To Play Drums, But My Father Made Me Take Piano Lessons. He Told Me I Needed To Learn To Read Music First, So I Took Lessons For Six Years. I Thank God That He Made Me Take Those Lessons, Because It Taught Me A Tremendous Amount.

I Was Three Years Old. I Was Messing With My Grandparents' Dog In Las Vegas, And He Decided To Pick Me Up By My Head And Run Around The Backyard With Me.

A Lot Of Student Directors Used To Pick Other Students To Be In Their Graduate Films, So. I Ended Up Doing A Couple Of Them Just For Fun. Eventually, I Got An Agent Through A Friend And I Did Some Commercials; Then I Got Knots Landing.

Oh, There's Tons Of Resentment. That's Normal. I Can't Control That, And I Don't Worry About It.
