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..

The whites are the same everywhere. I see them every day..

There are no rules. Let the picture lead you where it must go..

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

Accidental stacks considered harmful..

Stand-up is something I just truly love to do, so I'll always go back to it. I'll never stop doing it, that's for sure..

For we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make..

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

Protecting yourself from failure is probably not a good way to live..

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..

Life had sure been simpler when I hadn't dated..

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..
