You Might Win Some, But You Just

God Surrounded Me With The Right Team, With The Team That I Needed To Help Me Exercise All Of My Ideas. You Need That. You Need That Army, You Need That Force.

My Mother Gave Me A Piece Of Bread, Which Was Love And Encouragement. The Correction Was The Meat, The Substance. And Then She Would Sandwich That, Sandwich That With Another Piece Of Bread, Which Was Love And Encouragement. That Was Very Important In Shaping And Molding Our Morality, Our Understanding Of Ourselves, Making Sure That We Didn’t Think We Were Better Than Or Less Than Anyone, Feeling No More Worthy Or No Less Worthy Than Anyone Else.

Everyday Is Another Chance To Get Things Right.

My Whole Life At A Certain Point Was Studio, Hotel, Stage, Hotel, Stage, Studio, Stage, Hotel, Studio, Stage. I Was Expressing Everything From My Past, Everything That I Had Experienced Prior To That Studio Stage Time, And It Was Like You Have To Go Back To The Well, In Order To Give Someone Something To Drink. I Felt Like A Cistern, Dried Up And Like There Was Nothing More. And It Was So Beautiful.

There Are A Lot Of Young Black Girls Who I Meet In My Travels Who Don't Have A Lot Of Self-esteem. So If I Communicate To Them That They're Beautiful, No White Person Should Find Fault In That. It Doesn't Mean That Young White Girls Aren't Beautiful, Because They Are Just As Beautiful.
