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
Some things feel really good to sing: there's a physical aspect, but there's more to it - a deeper place you go to.

People are always very nice.

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
Being in the studio is a really romantic time.

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
You know, for most of its life bluegrass has had this stigma of being all straw hats and hay bales and not necessarily the most sophisticated form of music. Yet you can't help responding to its honesty. It's music that finds its way deep into your soul because it's strings vibrating against wood and nothing else.
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 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
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 started with the classical violin when I was 6, and I guess it went well.
Alison Krauss
My parents made us do everything, try everything.
Alison Krauss
I think that people respond to honesty in music, so I only choose songs that are the truth for me.
Alison Krauss
I love being in the world of the unknown.
Alison Krauss
I still think of myself as from Illinois.
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
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
If you don't know what makes green, you're going to try every color combination.
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
I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.
