I'm having fun just being a musician as well as an artist at this point.

If you have a Stradivarius and nobody to play it, it's just a Stradivarius. Or is it even that? It's nothing.

I adore being with Roberta. I adore being in her spiritual light. I adore being close to her talent and gifts.

I mean, on the food chain, do instruments really rate? I don't think so.

Trends don't mean very much to me. They come, they go, they turn around.

There was a time in American history when almost every white person knew who Aretha Franklin was.

For me, the other thing is not just a strong sense of spirituality.
