Novelists tend to go off at 70, and I'm in a funk about it, I've got myself into a real paranoid funk about it, how the talent dies before the body.

Every problem seems like a mountain to me, and when I'm fit, I feel like I can conquer anything. When the opposite happens, I go into a funk. A real, real funk.

Ranveer Singh

The bottom line with a lot of bands that funk is being applied to is that they don't really listen to funk and aren't versed in funk. Like, you know, Gordon Lightfoot.

Mike D

Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

David Bowie

If you got a booty, you're going to dance to disco, funk, you know, whatever's going on. Funk is going to be involved in it.

George Clinton

When I leave a room, it's gonna be footprints of funk wherever I stepped, because I'm a soul-funk crusader.

Big Boi

I like the New York style of funk, the California style of funk, but the South I never felt like - and Atlanta particularly - got the credit for taking their lessons and progressing on it.

Killer Mike

I'm the renegade of funk. I've made house, techno, rock, funk, reggae... That's why I've been on so many different labels.

Afrika Bambaataa

No matter what happens with EDM, I would like to go to New Orleans and just play with one of those small funk bands in an intimate venue. How cool would it be to work with a band with those huge horn lines and produce all of that great funk that makes you just want to party?

GRiZ

'Uptown Funk' has all the ingredients of the funk that I love.

Ludovico Einaudi

There's a very thin line between rock and funk. Funk is like a dirtier blues, and so is rock. They're close cousins.

Boots Riley

Whenever I think about funk music, it has a look - and that's how it sounds.

Erykah Badu

Funk is the absence of any and everything you can think of, but the very essence of all that is. And saying that, I'm saying funk is anything that we create in our minds that we want to do, what we want to be, but we don't have the resources.

Bootsy Collins

Funk could very easily be called jazz, but you call it funk. Does that really matter? People dig that they associate themselves with certain genres, but the genres to me are made up things, like an imaginary world.

Kamasi Washington

Funk is fun. And it's also a state of mind, ... But it's all the ramifications of that state of mind. Once you've done the best you can, funk it!

George Clinton

I scoured myself with lye soap from head to toe to get the evil funk of demon snot off me. I have flossed things the gods never meant to be flossed and used things that would be toxic to most living organisms. All to sanitize my body for your chewing pleasure.

Sherrilyn Kenyon

I don't think there's any way you can worry about how many errors or how many bad plays you've made. You can get into a fielding funk just as quick as you can hitting.
