Tracy Chapman
My old man's got a problem, he lives with the bottle.
Tracy Chapman
Love's a recurring theme through my work.
Tracy Chapman
When you feel like you've had a good show, you go backstage and you talk to yourself about it, and if you have a bad show you talk to yourself about it.
Tracy Chapman
There's a power in words. There's a power in being able to explain and describe and articulate what you know and feel and believe about the world, and about yourself.

Tracy Chapman
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul.
Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way.
Tracy Chapman
I picked up the guitar at 11, but even before then, I was writing songs on the organ.
Tracy Chapman
I'm not sure about anything as far as religion and spirituality go.
Tracy Chapman
As a child I spent a lot of time at the library.
Tracy Chapman
I dressed up as a veterinarian for a Halloween costume party. I had the lab coat. I got a couple of stuffed animals for patients and put bandages on them.
Tracy Chapman
The songs are not necessarily autobiographical. A lot of songs are a combination of influences. It might be some part of my life, or something I've felt, or something somebody's told me. It all comes together.
Tracy Chapman
