Sound Has No Parents.

After I Found Out That I Was Playing Music And That I'd Have To Learn How To Read And Write Music, I Started Doing That About Two Years Later. Finally, I Said, "oh, That Means What I Really Want To Do Is To Be A Composer." But When I Was Coming Up In Texas, There Was Segregation. There Was No Schools To Go To. I Taught Myself How To Read And How To Start Writing.

It's Just Someone Has Labelled Us As Having A Different Label To Do What You Do. I Find That Labels Are The Worst Thing In The World For Artistic Expression.

The Idea Is More Important Than The Style You're Playing In.

I Decided, If I'm Going To Be Poor And Black And All, The Least Thing I'm Going To Do Is To Try And Find Out Who I Am. I Created Everything About Me.

Music Has Many Uses And I Think The Most Perfected Use That Music Has Is One Of A Healing Quality.
