“When that song came out—you know, I used to beg my record company to
put out, “Outside Your Door.” It’s like, ’that’s the single man, put it out.’ But
they ignored me. Then brother Brian—just straight up took my shit. You can’t
cry over spilled milk—you just let it go—’cause I—I’ll keep writing and I’ll write
many other songs, so that’s cool.”

—Meshell Ndegeocello, Luna Park, West Hollywood, May 13, 1999
