I love seeing things that work in the micro and work in the macro..

The worse they are the more they see beauty in each other..

The less seriously you take yourself, the better work you're going to do..

I don't really like ska..

Education isn't something you can finish.

Just being from New York, that's something that you do - knowing how to dress..

I like things to reverberate, to be suggestive..

I'm not just another bimbo..

I ain't from Africa. I'm from St. Louis..

The days passed, as they do, and life went on..

If you can't understand the blues, you don't know much.

We live in a very gynophobic society.

Not being happy really is my fear..

I do not sing politics. I merely sing the truth..

I am not a Hemingway aficionado..

There must be nothing in my daily conduct that, copied by another, could lead that one into unholiness..

It’s not what you do some of the time that counts, it’s what you do all of the time that counts..

I'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job..

Yes. I've been asked to pose nude, but I never have, and I probably never will..

So many see themselves as aggrieved; so few see themselves as aggrievers..

Jen, we did it. Everyone's free now..
