And As I Started Reaching Deeper I

I Like To Shop, But I Don't Like To Go Out To Dances.

And As I Started Reaching Deeper I Realized That Most Of The Blues Of That Day Was Done By Men. Women Just Didn't Have The Nerve.

That's Where It Begins And Ends For Me And These Songs Were The Ones That Touched Me The Deepest. It Was Like I Was Laying Hold Of Some Part Of Me That I Didn't Even Know Was There Until I Let It Out.

A Lot Of People Think The Blues Is Depressing But That's Not The Blues I'm Singing. When I'm Singing Blues, I Singing Life. People Can't Stand To Listen To The Blues, They've Got To Be Phonies.

The Only Time That I Am Really Truly Happy—when I Feel At My Best—is When I'm On The Stage.
