I have a chance to live, as I’ve dreamed  (Nina Simone Quotes) I’m sorry that I did not become the world’s first black classic pianist.

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  (Nina Simone Quotes) 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.  (Nina Simone Quotes) It’s logical that people from bad times will reflect their feelings in their communication. Music is part of the communication. If you lived it, you can do it.  (Nina Simone Quotes) I don’t like rap music at all. I don’t think it’s music. It’s just a beat and rapping.  (Nina Simone Quotes) It’s time to take a look at my failures and stop calling them successes.

I play black classical music.  (Nina Simone Quotes) When I was studying... there weren’t any black concert pianists. My choices were intuitive, and I had the technique to do it.
