It's just that you don't have to bring it to every stage. You can do a fundraiser for people that you support. You don't necessarily have to talk about one thing or another when you're on your own.

More quotes by Dar Williams
I think we're coming to a place where we're saying all war is wrong. We might even learn something about the sensationalism we get caught up in with people like Donald Trump.
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 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
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.

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.

And the ones that know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.
Dar Williams
Why wouldn't you want to be the envy of your neighbors by being so good and so generous and so smart in how you use the power that you obviously have? That's my patriotism.
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.

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
The light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness.
Dar Williams
Every once in a while I check and I say, do I still believe in God? And the answer is absolutely yes. And then I think, I suppose I should go to church now. But after going to so many churches in my life and trying to go with the flow with so many denominations, Eastern and Western, I don't really feel I need to go to church at all.
Dar Williams
There's always people who came 600 miles to hear the song you didn't play.
Dar Williams
I came out of that and said I don't want to go back to feeling depressed. So I asked myself, what can I be optimistic about, in terms of the course of the planet? And I discovered there was no end to the optimism I felt.
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!

Slavery doesn't have any positives.
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 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
When people in government [make mistakes], they don't say, those people in the government. They say, we've got a problem to solve.
Dar Williams
When we learn about ourselves, we can evolve.
Dar Williams
And you bring your words, But you're just like them, You're unprepared 'Cause you don't know the terrain
