I Tell You What Freedom Is To

I Demand Perfection In What I Do, And I Practice Very Hard Before I Give A Concert-sometimes Three To Six Hours A Day.

I Think The Rich Are Too Rich And The Poor Are Too Poor. I Don't Think The Black People Are Going To Rise At All; I Think Most Of Them Are Going To Die.

I Believe In Racial Memory Too. I'm Sure I've Got Ancient African Blood In Me That Has Something To Do With What I Am.

My Job Is Not Done. I Address My Songs Now To The Third World. I Am Popular All Over Asia And Africa And The Middle East, Not To Speak Of South Africa, Where I'm Trying To Go To See Nelson Mandela.

I Would Like A Man Now Who Is Rich, And Who Can Give Me A Boat - A Sailboat. I Want To Own It And Let Him Pay For It. My First Love Is The Sea And Water, Not Music. Music Is Second.
