It's really about living in your head... just looking out at the world, then going back into your head and tossing around a lot of ideas and coming out with something interesting to say.

More quotes by Lucinda Williams
So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.
Lucinda Williams
I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?
Lucinda Williams
The more I separate myself from my upbringing, the more I appreciate what it's done for me.
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 am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
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
Of course, Im older now. Im in a different place in my life than when I wrote the songs for Car Wheels or Essence or whatever. Different things were going on.
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
It's always been hard for me to do without sounding precious or too corny or whatever.
Lucinda Williams
When the muse hits me, or the mood, or whatever it is, I get my guitar out and I empty it out. I just start going through things to see what's going to happen.
Lucinda Williams
You can't really praise somebody's work and then criticize the process.
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'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
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
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
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
Lucinda Williams
I don't keep a journal anymore. I did when I was a teenager, but now because I write about it all in my songs, that's what I'm really doing.
Lucinda Williams
I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.
Lucinda Williams
It's easier to write songs when you're single.
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
