You know how people say they're either like a cat or a dog? I feel like a cat. I just want to be alone. Isn't that weird? It's a lot to take in.

What we need to do is pull the rug out so billionaires in our country wake up one morning and say, wow, 80 percent of the country has a solar panel, and we can't make our billions anymore because other people are making millions, but not billions, on alternative energy that doesn't require war.

Dar Williams
There's tons of anger and angst and peculiarity and eccentricity, and good towns know that that's okay. But towns that are kind of bullshit don't know what to do with all those feelings.
Dar Williams
It's a collective truth that slavery is wrong, that child labor is wrong, that gross inequality is wrong. God didn't send it.
Dar Williams
The light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness.
Dar Williams
I think music is another language.
Dar Williams
But I benefit from the taxes I pay because I know how to access the benefits of the taxes.
Dar Williams
I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.

What happened on As Cool As I Am was, you know how in the `90s, the personal is political, the political is personal? That was a really big thing. Choices you made about how you recorded and what instruments you used and how much real versus how much synthetic. Those were choices that were seen as very political at the time.
