There's no excuse for the young people not knowing who the heroes and heroines are or were.
I don't like to go to strange places.
You can't help it. An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.
When I choose material for an album all these songs I grew up with pour into my head.
Music is the center of my life.
I'm sorry that I did not become the world's first black classic pianist. I think I would have been happier.
