Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.

Lucinda Williams
I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.
Lucinda Williams
I'm always writing ideas down and then I stick em in my pocket and put em in that folder so I don't lose them. Like, somebody might say something, and I'll go, oh that's a good line, and that goes in the folder, too. It's kind of an ongoing process for me.
Lucinda Williams
I write the songs, go in and record them, then I listen to everything and decide how it all fits together.
Lucinda Williams
I'm in a contented, loving relationship, but that doesn't mean I'm not struggling with other things that are going on around me in the world.
Lucinda Williams
I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
Lucinda Williams
It's just the more you do it the better you get, or at least that's how I feel in my case. I think it's a combination of confidence and just having done it this long and just learning. I'm always learning. I'm still honing my craft.
Lucinda Williams
