Count Basie isn't just a man, or even just a band. He's a way of life.

The naked female body is treated so weirdly in society. It's like people are constantly begging to see it, but once they do, someone's a hoe.

I remember the day tDr. King died. I wasn't angry at the beginning. It was like something very personal in my life had been touched and finished.

As much as I try, when I open my mouth, Lena comes out, And I get so mad.

Every color I can think of and nationality, we were all touched by Dr. King because he made us like each other and respect each other.

music became my refuge and then my salvation.

I made a promise to myself to be kinder to other people.
