More quotes by Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams
It's easier to write songs when you're single.
Lucinda Williams
I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
Lucinda Williams
I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.
