I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.

If I want to take a particular form of blues somewhere else I have the equipment to do it but I never even thought of it.

Many times I feel different like a different person.

By the time I was eight I was taking classical piano lessons and I wanted to be a concert pianist. But that didn't work out. I graduated from high school and my formal education ended.

I'm just human, I have faults like anyone

Slavery has never been abolished from America's way of thinking.

Jazz is a white term to define black people. My music is black classical music.
