Once 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 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 used to draw stickmen with star glasses when I was at school. I didn’t realise that would end up being me! The whole idea was that the glasses had mirrors, and if a youngster looked at me, they’d see themselves. Everybody is a star.
BOOTSY COLLINSWe were brash young fellows. I was always hanging with the older crowd anyway. The musicians were the Hip Cats, and I was hanging with them anyway. I Just started out real early.
BOOTSY COLLINSSacred spirit of love, fall down on me from above.
BOOTSY COLLINSI wanna keep creating those situations for myself so I don’t have to be out front all the time. Then when I do have to be out front, I can do it to the max.

BOOTSY COLLINSSkid marks all across my brain, cause you’re leaving me with so much pain. I was pretty sure that you could be the one, now it is evident that it was hit and run.
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 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 COLLINSWhere´s my leadin´ lady? Let me try this new love scene on you, baby.
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 COLLINSI wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work; with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.
BOOTSY COLLINSWe have given our creations more power than we have, and that to me is dumb.
