Alison Krauss
If you don't know what makes green, you're going to try every color combination.
Alison Krauss
I think you translate emotion better when you take your hands off.
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

Alison Krauss
My parents made us do everything, try everything.
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.

Being in the studio is a really romantic time.
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

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 know if bliss is possible and I've always thought that my best times will be later in life.
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
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

Alison Krauss

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
There's a restless feeling knocking on my door today.
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
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.
