More quotes by Dar Williams
I have a sordid past.
Dar Williams
The only I would say is a little different is when I know my parents are in the audience. That's never going to be the same as another concert.
Dar Williams
At this point, I feel like I have roots in a lot of places. I have friends who have put down roots, in Seattle and San Francisco and Portland, and I feel very close to them.
Dar Williams
And where does magic come from? I think that magic's in the learning.
Dar Williams
I went to Canada and played in this tiny bar where the windows were steaming up and everybody was so animated and singing along right there at the foot of the stage, looking up, and I got my mojo back .
Dar Williams
I'm amazed at the adolescent nature of some of the religious fanatics in our government. And they're full of double standards.
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
I have odometer readings, kids all sorts of measurements of what I've been doing for the last 20 years. I get it. I get that it was a while ago.
Dar Williams
Guiding the ship takes more the your skill. It is the compass inside as the strength of your will.

The funny thing is musicians often love to go to see visual art because you've got all these pictures to turn into metaphors.
Dar Williams
Go ahead, push your luck, find out how much love the world can hold.
Dar Williams
Everyone has to decide how they're going to appear in their lives, how they're going to put themselves out there to the world.
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.
Dar Williams
I've watched towns and cities evolve and become very resilient, and fun, and unique, and prosperous on their own terms. And the secret is bridging. It's when the local church has a fun clothing swap fundraiser with a temple, and then the next year they bring in the mosque.
Dar Williams
The light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness.
Dar Williams
I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.
Dar Williams
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
I really value people besides parents who nurture kids.
Dar Williams
And if I had a camera Showing all the light we give And showing where the light extends I'd give it to my friends
Dar Williams
Sixties folk rock was my original muse and the folk audience-people who listen to music off the beaten track-fostered my career. I definitely don't want to abandon the genre but I also need to make sure I'm Dar Williams first.
