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.
Dar Williams

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.

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
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
And the ones that know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.
Dar Williams
They preach that I should save the world. They pray that I won't do a better job of it.
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
When we learn about ourselves, we can evolve.
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
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
