Nina Simone: It’s Not My Problem Where It Touches Them

by John Lacey on April 20, 2009

As artists we can’t be responsible for how other people respond to our works.

Nina Simone:

I’m quite pleased. At least they hear the song. They hear it. And it touches them some place. Now it’s not my problem where it touches them… but I am pleased that it touches them.

This quotation is taken from an interview included as part of Nina Simone’s Protest Anthology.
