It's perfect for me, ... It's a period piece, and I'm totally in love with period pieces. And that it is about this woman who was a classical prodigy, who grew up in Harlem, where I grew up, who is obviously half-black and half-white, like I am, who studied classical (music), like I did. But the twist comes in for me, obviously, because the time period had so much tension.
It's a wonderful thing to see smart, creative women out there working hard and doing wonderful music and still having love for each other.
I think that marriage is beautiful. And if it's a partnership with someone you love, then it really is beautiful. Yeah, I think that marriage does work.
With each new day, I'm learning how to take control in order to have balance in my life. I plan time for myself and my loved ones and take it.
Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.
Love me like you'll never see me again.
Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you.
Love will come find you, just to remind you of who you are.
If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
Our mission goes beyond commerce, it goes beyond technology. Our intent is to preserve music's importance in our lives, music is the language of love, of laughter, of heartbreak, of mystery. It's the world's true, true, without question, universal language.
Through the shake of an earthquake I will never fall. That’s how strong my love is.
Love is accepting people for who they are and what they are, regardless.
I love my heritage! I have my mother, who is an Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste buds of an Italian and the spice of an African.
I fell in love with the piano. I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
