You can't help it. An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.

I look forward to doing my own show, not someone else's. That's always been my dream.

I tell you what freedom is to me: no fear.

I don't like to go to strange places. I was in Italy for about five hours on my way to Africa.

I can't stand loud guitars that make me deaf.

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

To be young, gifted and black!
