I really value people besides parents who nurture kids.

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.

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.

And where does magic come from? I think that magic's in the learning.
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
I think music is another language.
Dar Williams
And you bring your words, But you're just like them, You're unprepared 'Cause you don't know the terrain
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
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
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'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.
