The line between greatness and obscurity is very, very small.

In the last couple of years I've been picking up my guitar again.

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

I'd sing with Roberta Flack in a taxi if you called up and said she'd be in it.

Every significant event that takes place in our lives is set to some kind of music.

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

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