I am honestly not sure how capable I am of love. And I'm not sure why.

I learnt early on that your audience take the songs in the way they want to rather than the way you might want them too.

I was born in Chicago, but I was raised in a town called Jackson, Tennessee. And a lot of these changes that were necessary and talked about it as important have been made, like, people go to school where they want to go. They work for equal pay, they work for - they can go school and have an equal shot at a job.

Every once in a while, you live long enough to get the respect that people didn't want to give while you were trying to become a senior citizen.

A lot of folks are so busy trying to get their groceries together that they don't have time to do research. I have time. Maybe that's the main difference.

I don't think people in power have the potential to do anything like that to me. I feel as though as long as our music is available, folks are going to hear it.

Colour is not the issue in America; class is.
