You can never loose a thing If it belongs to you.

Sing a song correctly and you live forever.

We have inherited a great music. This music is a holdover. It comes with us like the skin, the texture of our hair. It's our memory banks.

I don't have to lay on the couch and see a therapist because my therapist is in my paint brushes.

But I've been there and done that. I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody, and if somebody wants me to come, if they can afford what I ask, it's not as much as Madonna makes; not that I want what Madonna makes, but I was saying.

It's a spirit that was given me and the relationships and meeting all these great people, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong; through Max I met a lot of people too. My first album was with Benny Carter.

The best thing you can do is to be a woman and stand before the world and speak your heart.
