“The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel...” — Nina Simone Quote

“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.”

“Jazz is a white term to define black people. My music is black classical music.”

“I think if I were over there in America, protest music would be more important. But I'm not going.”

“Twice and thrice over, as they say, good is it to repeat and review what is good.”

“One thing I always tell players is that there are three bad things: Nothing good happens after midnight, nothing good happens when you're around guns unless you're going hunting, and you don't want to mess around with women that you don't know because a lot of times, bad things happen.”

“I've been a bad boy trying to be a good man my whole life.”
