I love a good lyricist - always have. The thing that inspired me most was the different performers, like Tina Turner, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, even Janet Jackson. ↗

James Brown became my father. He would talk to me the way a father talked to a son. He became the father I never had. ↗

I've been to two stadium gigs in my life. One was James Brown and the other was Pink Floyd. They both sounded the same. I couldn't tell the difference between James Brown and Pink Floyd. I've never liked stadiums. ↗

James Brown is important because he decorates the clock correctly and he's good with lower mathematics. Don't get me wrong - he's good. ↗

I grew up in Deptford in south London, and at that time I used to wear toppers, loon pants and tonic suits from shops like Take 6 and Topman. I was a bit of a soul boy, but I had a very eclectic taste in music - I was into James Brown and Bowie; and I was the only kid in the neighbourhood who would also be listening to Chopin. ↗

— Gary Oldman

I was never really that interested in the punk movement. I was a blues guy: I liked Motown, James Brown. ↗
