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
I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that is cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.
Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what's more than enough.
I never hurt nobody but myself and that is nobody's business but my own.
If I do not have friends, then I ain't got nothing.
