I Can't Stand Loud Guitars

I Was Reared In The Church From The Age Of Three. I've Played Piano Since I Was Three. I Performed At Revivals And For My People Around North Carolina For Several Years. People Around Town Collected Money To Send Me To School.

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.

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 Don't Like To Go To Strange Places.

That's A Very High Goal To Have, Study Eight Hours A Day To Be A Concert Pianist.
