I'm Really Not Tailored For Responsibility.

After I Saw Kiss On Stage, I Wanted My Show To Look Like The Fourth Of July. The Persona Of Rick James Was Wild And Crazy, Sex, Drugs And Rock And Roll.

I Wanted To Play The Apollo Theater Because I Didn't Think I Was Going To Be On The Earth Long.

Prison Was A Blessing. Going To Prison Was The Greatest Thing That Happened To Me. It Showed Me That I Wasn't Infallible. It Showed Me That I Was Just Human. It Showed Me That I Can Be Back With My Ghetto Brothers I Grew Up With And Have A Good Time. It Taught Me To Cool Out. It Taught Me Patience. It Taught Me That I Didn't Ever Want To Lose My Freedom. It Taught Me That Drugs Bring On The Devil. It Taught Me To Grow Up.
