Dar Williams
And where does magic come from? I think that magic's in the learning.
Dar Williams
Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness.

I went from having three little jobs that I strung together to being on the road full-time having some savings that my managers told me to spend. You fly all over the country opening for these other people. You pay a publicist to get some press while you're establishing yourself and you will be solvent in this career forevermore.
Dar Williams

The rest of the songs on the album [Mortal City ] have spare arrangements on them. Steve [Miller], really loved that. He'd just come off of a project with someone who basically had to mask the fact that there were no songs there with production. He said, Oh, my God, you have real songs here!
Dar Williams
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.
Dar Williams
...we're all in a soup of trying to live by words, and trying to live by poetry. It's both humbling, and really flattering to know that my words are part of all that.
Dar Williams
I would encourage people to bridge broadly and creatively in their communities, not just because that creates the most fun and resiliency, but also because it creates the most points of access for people to be part of the community, which is what democracy is at its best.
Dar Williams
They preach that I should save the world. They pray that I won't do a better job of it.
Dar Williams
Go ahead, push your luck, find out how much love the world can hold.
Dar Williams
I'm becoming a professional nomad and enjoying that whole part of my life.
Dar Williams
I would push for more production and Steve Miller would say, Why do you want to have more production when you have real songs? You don't want to cover up the song.

Sometimes life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging.
