I know I'm different, but I don't think about it.

I think the rich are too rich and the poor are too poor. I don't think the black people are going to rise at all; I think most of them are going to die.

It's logical that people from bad times will reflect their feelings in their communication. Music is part of the communication. If you lived it, you can do it.

You have to learn to get up from the table when love is not being served.

I was not reluctant to become a singer. Singing has been an activity I've done my whole life, without thought.

Music has been a burden and a joy for as long as I can remember.

You don't have to live next to me / Just give me my equality.
