Carolina QuotesHumbleness! Don't get so full of yourselves! Don't, don't forget to love everything that everybody does. Don't criticize anybody's talent. Don't censor anybody's art. Don't wave people off because you don't understand it. Open your mind. Open your heart. See what you can learn. Listen for the heartbeat. Listen for the pulse. It's there.

I didn’t try to be a soul singer, a jazz singer, a blues singer – no category…My music is my expression of what I feel and believe in a moment.
I hope that one day we will be seen for the people we are, not for our race, gender, age or nationality.
To be moved, to be moved constantly by your own songs. You need it to be in tune with them, and I don’t mean in tune musically, but I mean in tune with the lyrics of the songs, with the words of the songs, and with the meaning. You need to be in tune with all of that, and that takes a little bit of doing.
