A Quote by Mike D

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.

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

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

David Bowie

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'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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Martin Amis

If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.

Lenny Kravitz

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 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

When I started playing the bass, I became kind of fascinated by it and started investigating various styles of bass playing, and I was really struck with funk music, mainly American funk music - Stanley Clarke, Funkadelic and that kind of stuff. That comes out in a couple of songs like 'Barbarism Begins at Home.'

Andy Rourke

My favorite bands were Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Grand Funk Railroad. If you listen to some of my early music, you can hear it.
