Once I Understood Bach's Music, I Wanted

Everything That Happened To Me As A Child Involved Music. It Was Part Of Everyday Life, As Automatic As Breathing.

It's Time To Take A Look At My Failures And Stop Calling Them Successes. Now I Can Start Working At Something That Can Use Me Best.

When I Was Studying... There Weren't Any Black Concert Pianists. My Choices Were Intuitive, And I Had The Technique To Do It. People Have Heard My Music And Heard The Classic In It, So I Have Become Known As A Black Classical Pianist.

I Do Not Believe In Mixing Of The Races. You Can Quote Me. I Don't Believe In It, And I Never Have. I've Never Changed. I've Never Changed My Hair. I've Never Changed My Color, I Have Always Been Proud Of Myself, And My Fans Are Proud Of Me For Remaining The Way I've Always Been. I Married A White Man One Time, But He Was A Creep

I Would Like A Man Now Who Is Rich, And Who Can Give Me A Boat - A Sailboat. I Want To Own It And Let Him Pay For It. My First Love Is The Sea And Water, Not Music. Music Is Second.
