Seeing how those companies operate, it didn't amount to a massive vote of confidence in their artists. There was talk of me going to Columbia after that, but nothing happened. I got disillusioned, and I pulled back.

More quotes by Madeleine Peyroux
My parents were older than normal when they had me, and had been very into the politics of the 1960s, so I was brought up in that atmosphere.
Madeleine Peyroux
I listened to Billie Holiday a lot in order to learn to sing. She remains one of the extraordinary jazz singers. But my intent is to become my own voice, to be able to interpret these songs in my own way.
Madeleine Peyroux
My father's record collection was full of New Orleans music of all kinds. I used to listen to the radio in New York, and all there was on it at the time was Madonna and Michael Jackson, so it sort of passed me by.
Madeleine Peyroux
It's wonderful to work with someone with mentor status.
Madeleine Peyroux
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!
Madeleine Peyroux
I had my guitar and some talent so that I could make friends with intelligent people and could talk my way out of difficult situations.
Madeleine Peyroux
The wonderful thing about Jazz is its willingness to take chances.
Madeleine Peyroux
Second records aren't usually very good. Even Bob Dylan's was a bit disappointing.
Madeleine Peyroux
I'm very conscious of developing my singing, technically and stylistically. I want it to become more individual, express more of me. That's my goal. These songs are steps along that way.
Madeleine Peyroux
It's great to have other people's help. Then the music gets heard. There's a lot more commercial support for that now.
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.
