«I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.»
Author: Nina Simone

Author: Nina Simone

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
