I'd be happy if people said that I did a little bit to raise the dignity and recognition of the greatness of African-American music.

As I grew up, I began to discover a little bit about the situation of black people in America and experienced an immediate empathy with the victims of such senseless discrimination. Because although the Turks were never slaves, they were regarded as enemies within Europe because of their Muslim beliefs.

Datelines are kind of an anachronism. It's a little bit of an affectation.

I like to make people think a little bit.

I play the guitar a little bit.

I can procrastinate a little bit.
