Letter "N" » Nina Simone Quotes
«I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.»
Author: Nina Simone
«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.»
Author: Nina Simone
«Jazz is not just music, it's a way of life, it's a way of being, a way of thinking. . . . the new inventive phrases we make up to describe things -- all that to me is jazz just as much as the music we play.»
Author: Nina Simone
«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.»
Author: Nina Simone
«I am particular about the seating of the audience-also about how much money they pay-but most of all where they are seated. If I am going to sing something intimate, who am I going to sing it to?»
Author: Nina Simone
«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.»
Author: Nina Simone
«There's no excuse for the young people not knowing who the heroes and heroines are or were.»
Author: Nina Simone
«I do not believe in mixing of the races. You can quote me. I don't believe in it, and I never have. I've never changed. I've never changed my hair. I've never changed my color, I have always been proud of myself, and my fans are proud of me for remaining the way I've always been. I married a white man one time, but he was a creep.»
Author: Nina Simone
«I only knew classical music, which to me was the only true music. The only way I could survive at the bar was to mix the classical music with popular songs, and that meant I had to sing. What happened was that I discovered I had a voice plus the talent to mix classical music together with more popular songs, which at the time I detested.»
Author: Nina Simone
«To most white people, jazz means black and jazz means dirt, and that's not what I play. I play black classical music.»
