“A roast is like a get-together where people come down and talk about y...” — Bootsy Collins Quote

A roast is like a get-together where people come down and talk about you and dog you out, the way you came up, the knucklehead things that you did, stuff like that.

I 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.

I 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.

My 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.

Youth will be served, every dog has his day, and mine has been a fine one.

The view only changes for the lead dog.

The last thing that scared me... it was probably something stupid, like when someone jumped out at me, or I thought my new dog had gone to the toilet underneath my piano. Lots of silly things.

Old-world romance underlines my relationships, even with my son and the dog.

I believe that I was a dog in a past life. That's the only thing that would explain why I like to snack on Purina Dog Chow.
