More quotes by Alison Krauss
Growing up I used to love bands like Free and ELO and the Rolling Stones. When Robert Plant got in touch it made perfect sense to me.
Alison Krauss
I don't look for bliss, just contentment.
Alison Krauss
Whenever I've chosen a song because it's clever, it's always turned out to be a mistake.
Alison Krauss
I find the songs I want to record by listening to as much music as I can. 'When I hear things I really like, I ask the writers to send me a tape of everything they've ever written.
Alison Krauss
It's impossible to make a record when you're ill because it affects how you listen to things. You can't make decisions. It all sounds terrible.
Alison Krauss
It's not that I have resisted songwriting, it's just not something I felt I have had to do. I've just not woken up and thought, I must do this. But I have often heard music that I have instantly felt 'I have to sing that song'
Alison Krauss
When it's open and honest, that's when the real nature of who you are as a vocalist or as a performer, all of that stuff can finally start to become what it's supposed to be. Like a settling into yourself. It's not even a musical thing, it's a whole mindset, a whole acceptance of who you were supposed to be. Life sounds good
Alison Krauss
I think you translate emotion better when you take your hands off.
Alison Krauss
Songs come from all over the place. You can't predict what you're going to like. You might like something that doesn't fit right now. What was working for you at one point, something you've loved for years and years, when you get together with everybody, you think, this doesn't match up with what's going on with you personally.
Alison Krauss
I grew up in a school that had a big music program, and it was incredible. It's what I looked forward to during the day. I had chorus, strings, band.
Alison Krauss
There are so many great songs yet to sing.
Alison Krauss
The grand old lady of bluegrass? Well, wouldn't that be a wonderful title to have? I hope I do enough to earn it some day
Alison Krauss
I don't get recognised in London or at home either - very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.
Alison Krauss
If you don't know what makes green, you're going to try every color combination.
Alison Krauss
Lyrics are kind of the whole thing it's the message. Something might have a beautiful melody but if it's not the truth coming out of your mouth, it's not appealing
Alison Krauss
I love being in the world of the unknown.
Alison Krauss
There's a restless feeling knocking on my door today.
Alison Krauss
I'm much better at fixing or changing a melody to suit me than I would a lyric. But for me, everything is lyric. It has to be true for me to say it.
Alison Krauss
I started with the classical violin when I was 6, and I guess it went well.
Alison Krauss
I don't know if bliss is possible and I've always thought that my best times will be later in life.
Alison Krauss
