+ I like being onstage, but when it comes to show
business itself and the pirates that run it, no,
I don't like it at all.
+ I think the rich are too rich and the poor are
too poor.
+ I demand perfection in what I do and I practice
very hard before I give a concert.. sometimes
three to six hours a day.
+ My anger was fire and I was pushing that all
that time, but I'm not angry now. I'm philosophical,

being out there preaching like I did.
+ She was tempestuous. She was a complete one-of-a-kind
and she studied her music more than anyone else

would listen because she was Callas. (talking
of Maria Callas)
+ To most white people, jazz means black and jazz
means dirt and that's not what I play. I play
black classical music.
