Nina Simone Discussed Her Career as a Musician in a 1999 Interview
In a 1999 interview with BBC HARDtalk, four years before her 2003 death at the age of 70, Simone discussed her long-lasting and influential career as a musician and civil rights activist. During the interview, she said she agreed that her performances were "a political weapon." She explained that her music had "helped [her] for 30 years defend the rights of American Blacks" and those in developing countries "to defend them with protest songs."
In addition, Simone said that she wanted her performances "to make [the audience] aware of what has been done to [her] people around the world." She also shared that she was proud of her legacy and success as an iconic musician.
She also said that being on stage was "always a huge kick" for her. Simone clarified that she would make audiences wait for her to perform to ensure she played piano and sang to the best of her abilities.
"I have to be composed. I have to be poised. I have to remember what my first piano teacher taught me, you do not touch that piano until you are ready. And until they are ready to listen to you. You just make them wait," said Simone during the BBC HARDtalk interview.
