You Can't Outdo 'street Songs' And I

I Don't Try To Hide Sex In My Music. Music Is Very Sexual. I Don't Hide It.

I Just Live One Day At A Time.

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.

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 Was Angry About The Fact That My Father Would Beat My Mother On A Daily Basis, That My Mother Would Like Take It In Turn And Beat On Me. I Was An Abused Child. I Was Mad About All Those Things, Very Bitter And Very Angry.
