More quotes by Alison Krauss
There are so many great songs yet to sing.
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 think that people respond to honesty in music, so I only choose songs that are the truth for me.
Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss
I think you translate emotion better when you take your hands off.
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'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
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
My parents made us do everything, try everything.
Alison Krauss
A whole album to one writer - now that would be really interesting.
