I Feel A Lot More Secure About

Being A Musician Is What I Do, But It's Not What I Am.

One Thing That Sticks In My Mind Is That Jazz Means Freedom And Openness. It's A Music That, Although It Developed Out Of The African American Experience, Speaks More About The Human Experience Than The Experience Of A Particular People.

I Don't Mind Being Classified As A Jazz Artist, But I Do Mind Being Restricted To Being A Jazz Artist. My Foundation Has Been In Jazz, Though I Didn't Really Start Out That Way. I Started In Classical Music, But My Formative Years Were In Jazz, And It Makes A Great Foundation.

But, The Truth Is That Everyone Is Somebody Already.

It's Part Of Life To Have Obstacles. It's About Overcoming Obstacles; That's The Key To Happiness.
