thinking vaccines forever
I think the rich will eventually have to cave in too, because the economic situation around the world is not gonna tolerate the United States being on top forever.
thinking america important
I think if I were over there in America, protest music would be more important. But I'm not going.
rap thinking hip-hop
I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.
crazy home thinking
Greed has driven the world crazy. And I think I'm lucky that I have a place over here that I can call home.
thinking people black
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.
sorry thinking black
I'm sorry that I did not become the world's first black classic pianist. I think I would have been happier.
thinking america racism
Slavery has never been abolished from America's way of thinking.
music thinking way
Jazz is not just music, it's a way of life, it's a way of being, a way of thinking.
hurt thinking self
The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it, it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking, perhaps I am not good enough.
american-musician love man music pay sea
I would like a man now who is rich, and who can give me a boat-a sailboat. I want to own it and let him pay for it. My first love is the sea and water, not music. Music is second.
affair anymore intensive love
I had a very intensive love affair from 1994 to 1995. It was like a volcano, so I don't want that anymore for a while.
heard met remember sing wore
Every person I ever met who heard her sing could remember what they wore and what she wore (on that occasion).
doctor
You know, I am a doctor of music.
money particular sing
I am particular about the seating of the audience-also about how much money they pay-but most of all where they are seated. If I am going to sing something intimate, who am I going to sing it to?
