More quotes by Alison Krauss
There are so many great songs yet to sing.
Alison Krauss
People are always very nice.
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 still think of myself as from Illinois.
Alison Krauss
Some things feel really good to sing: there's a physical aspect, but there's more to it - a deeper place you go to.
Alison Krauss
I think that people respond to honesty in music, so I only choose songs that are the truth for me.

Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss
There's a restless feeling knocking on my door today.
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
I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.
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'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
Whenever I've chosen a song because it's clever, it's always turned out to be a mistake.
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
