It's Like Duke Ellington Said, There Are

I Don't Think Any Of Us Really Knows Why We're Here. But I Think We're Supposed To Believe We're Here For A Purpose.

I'm A Firm Believer In God Himself, But That's As Far As I Can Go. I'm Not Any Denomination. I'm Not Catholic Or Presbyterian Or Baptist Or Methodist Or Jewish Or Muslim. I'm None Of Those Things. And I'm Sure That's Just Fine With God.

I'd Like To Think That When I Sing A Song, I Can Let You Know All About The Heartbreak, Struggle, Lies And Kicks In The Ass I've Gotten Over The Years For Being Black And Everything Else, Without Actually Saying A Word About It.

Music To Me Is Like Breathing. I Don't Get Tired Of Breathing, I Don't Get Tired Of Music.

You Ask Me What I'd Like To Do That I Haven't Done And I Say 'nothin'!' I Haven't Any Mountains To Climb Or Oceans To Swim. I've Been An Extremely Blessed Individual. ... I'm Not Clamorin' For More Trinkets. If I Were To Die Tomorrow, I Could Say I've Had A Good Life.
