More quotes by Lucinda Williams
First thing, I throw on some jeans, a T-shirt and my Keds sneakers and make coffee. That is actually my favorite time of day. That is when I do my songwriting, when I am in writing mode.
Lucinda Williams
I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.
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
You can't really praise somebody's work and then criticize the process.
Lucinda Williams
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
Lucinda Williams
I'm pretty much the same person I was 20 years ago. My politics haven't changed. I have the same feeling of idealism. But I am a little bit wiser and more experienced.
Lucinda Williams
The old jazz singers or old blues singers, you always just saw them kind of sitting down and singing. They weren't worried as much about their voice sounding perfect. They would make the song kind of fit their voice.
Lucinda Williams
I started writing songs, I guess, when I was about 13 or 14, but I didn't know if they were good enough yet or anything.
Lucinda Williams
Sometimes I feel like I just open myself up like I'm a vehicle for something coming through me. It's like a meditative state I have to be in.
Lucinda Williams
I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
Lucinda Williams
I usually have an idea of how I want a song to sound, but I don't always know how to get there
Lucinda Williams
As it turns out, now is the moment you've been waiting for
Lucinda Williams
I usually don't write about my life right when it happens. I process it, and I store it away. Then, when I get in the mood I pull the stuff back out.
Lucinda Williams
I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
Lucinda Williams
The thing about Alzheimer's is that it's... it's sort of like all these little, small deaths along the way, before they actually physically die.
Lucinda Williams
It's always been hard for me to do without sounding precious or too corny or whatever.
Lucinda Williams
I guess you could write a good song if your heart hadn't been broken, but I don't know of anyone whose heart hasn't been broken.
Lucinda Williams
I think in the world of rock music or whatever it's called - anything outside of Nashville - there's a lot more freedom within that industry to do whatever you want to do.
Lucinda Williams
What seems conceit, bad manners or cynicism is always a sign of things no ear have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.
Lucinda Williams
I write the songs, go in and record them, then I listen to everything and decide how it all fits together.
