I would like you to know, I am a doctor of music.

I was always a politician from the day the civil rights people chose me as their protest singer.

Talent is a burden not a joy. I am not of this planet. I do not come from you. I am not like you.

My name sounds French but that's just a stage name.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day...and I'm feeling good.

Since I was three I've been playing the piano. I've been onstage. My mother is an Evangelist and I used to play the piano at her revival meetings.

Anything human can be felt through music, which means that there is no limit to the creating that can be done with music. You can take the same phrase from any song and cut it up so many different ways - it's infinite. It's like God... you know?
