It’s very important that people realize: the air is being taken away, the oceans are being taken away, the room is being taken away, but we’re so worried about gas prices that we don’t even see this stuff.

BOOTSY COLLINSWhy hate when we should Celebrate. In this world of two’s, you got the Mourning Son, and the Daughter of the Night. They both equal light once you make it through the night. Now, wake the funk up!
BOOTSY COLLINSSacred spirit of love, fall down on me from above.
BOOTSY COLLINSNowadays, it’s like two different arenas, recording and touring. When I started way back in the day, doing both was nothing, you didn’t have to think about it, the road and recording.
BOOTSY COLLINSDuring the course of the day, I write things down, things I don’t do anything with. Then, when I get ready to start recording, I just look through my books and I see if I can find something that stands out. That’s how I come up with the off-the-wall-kinda-strange-indirect-stuff.
BOOTSY COLLINSI guess some of today’s programming has rubbed off on me because I find myself having to set time around for touring, putting that together and then setting time around for recording.
BOOTSY COLLINSI’d like to have younger people around me and that I’ll be involved with them a lot more now, as opposed to me being the main focal point.
BOOTSY COLLINSYeah, because what it all boils down to is at the end of the day, we are all riding on the same boat and we have to learn how to deal with each other. I think that the music and what we do in our actions is what can kind of bring us together, hopefully.
BOOTSY COLLINSWe have given our creations more power than we have, and that to me is dumb.
BOOTSY COLLINSMy brother was very important to me. And he played guitar. So that’s what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a guitar player. So he was the first one to inspire me to do something with my life. And I was so glad that he was there.
BOOTSY COLLINSUsually when I’m out doing stuff, I’m just out in the wild, doing the wild thing. I don’t really get a chance to just chill out until I come here, in my creative space.
BOOTSY COLLINSOnce you lose that musician part -not just the playing, I’m talking about musician attitude- then you’re lost, man. Especially if you started out that way. It feels so good to be back, starting from the ground up.
BOOTSY COLLINSI try to bring it across on my record, in my dress, in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I’m here for.
BOOTSY COLLINSWell actually, we are working on the live album from the shows in Japan. I’m trying to get that finished.
BOOTSY COLLINSWhere´s my leadin´ lady? Let me try this new love scene on you, baby.
BOOTSY COLLINSYou have to get up and plant the seed and see if it grows, but you cant just wait around, you have to water it and take care of it.
