I Think One Of The Reasons I'm

I Don't Disrespect The Audience. I Only Sing Very Well-written, Intelligent Songs.

I Know The History Of The Record Business So Well Because I Followed Billie Holiday Into The Record Studios. It Was So Primitive Compared To The Sophisticated Business Today.

My Goal As A Creative Person Is To Express Truth And Beauty In Whatever I Do

I Plan To Do My Next Two Albums With Lady Gaga . She Is Quite A Talent.
