Every race is totally different.

Every single thing in my life is built around race.

I know that my race must change.

If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself and I think that's often hard for us to do.

Nonetheless, much has been learned by studying the statistical differences between the various human races.

I see how people look at me, all around the world. They see something because of the race I belong to. I have to understand that and put it into my music.

I never really had to put much thought into my race, and neither did anybody else. I knew I was black. I knew there was a history that accompanied my skin color, and my parents taught me to be proud of it. End of story.

The experience of the race shows that we get our most important education not through books but through our work. We are developed by our daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by nothing else.

I learned at a young age that we were going to have to be personable, going to have to be marketable, and going to have to be creative in order to have a race team.
