Sometimes I wonder if I got lulled into not wanting things because I grew up black in this country.

The worst part is doubt. When you doubt yourself, which we are taught to do, you get lost.

Being as versatile as I am, I take offense to the notion that no serious musician would not be doing a late night talk show gig. One has to be open enough in other areas to be able to contribute to a show like this.

I want someone who is open-minded, dedicated to whatever she is doing and isn't afraid to say I love you. As for looks, she shouldn't have three heads. I want a regular human being.
