As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
I read, I painted, I didn't hate niggers.
Maybe my audiences can enjoy my music more if they think I'm destroying myself.
If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.
After they see me, when their mothers are feeding them all that cashmere sweater and girdle ----- [expletive deleted by the New York Times], maybe they'll have a second thought - that they can be themselves and win.
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
