More From Nina Simone
- "I had spent many years pursuing excellence, because that is what classical music is all about… Now it was dedicated to freedom, and that was far more important."
- "The worst thing about that kind of prejudice… is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it, it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking, perhaps I am not good enough."
- "Once I understood Bach’s music, I wanted to be a concert pianist. Bach made me dedicate my life to music, and it was that teacher who introduced me to his world."
