More quotes by 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
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
That's what I love. Not being interrupted, sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing
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 still think of myself as from Illinois.

Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss
I don't look for bliss, just contentment.
Alison Krauss
I think you translate emotion better when you take your hands off.
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
People are always very nice.
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
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
I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.
Alison Krauss
My parents made us do everything, try everything.
Alison Krauss
Being in the studio is a really romantic time.
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
I love being in the world of the unknown.
Alison Krauss
I started with the classical violin when I was 6, and I guess it went well.
Alison Krauss
There's a restless feeling knocking on my door today.
