Madeleine Peyroux

I was just learning to play guitar when Tracy Chapman came out. She wrote these songs, she played them by herself and I so admired her for that.

No matter where we come from or where we're going, we've all got memories to contend with, and it's always best not to do this alone!

I love playing to people and seeing them react.

To me, tattoos are a way of people being able to express themselves and have other people look at them and get a little insight into who they are, without ever even saying a word to them.

The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.
