More quotes by Dar Williams
I have a sordid past.
Dar Williams
Guiding the ship takes more the your skill. It is the compass inside as the strength of your will.
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
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.
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
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. Suddenly, the war-making machinery is not necessary.
Dar Williams
There's always people who came 600 miles to hear the song you didn't play.
Dar Williams
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
For my 50th birthday I just want to make it all make sense [being exactly half introvert], and then a couple of weeks later do the blow-out with all my friends.
Dar Williams
I'm becoming a professional nomad and enjoying that whole part of my life.
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
A song versus an album is not like a scene versus a play.
Dar Williams
I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.
Dar Williams
The very best thing you can do is to try to write a song that has some sort of impact.
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
Slavery doesn't have any positives.
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
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
I really value people besides parents who nurture kids.
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.
