I Was Hopeless, Now I'm On Hope

If I'd Known White People Were Going To Buy My Last Album, I Never Would Have Recorded It.

So While You're Imitating Al Capone, I'll Be Nina Simone And Defecating On Your Microphone.

To Me That's A Reflection Of Love, When Someone Can See You Enjoying Yourself, And Want To Participate, Or Want To Encourage, Or Want To Help You To Do Something That You Enjoy.

I Used To Play My Records Aloud Until One Night My Mother Was Like, "this Is Too Loud. I'm Not Having It," And So I Put On Headphones. But The Headphones Didn't Stretch All The Way To My Bed From The Record Player, So I Had To Sleep On The Floor In Order To Hear The Records. I Slept On The Floor Right Next To The Record Player Until I Was Probably 19 Years Old.

I Don't Feel Like My Money Or My Success Defines Me. I've Always Been Very Happy Just Bein' Me.
