More quotes by Lucinda Williams
I feel a lot more comfortable being me these days. I'm constantly told that my work is good. A lot of fans and a lot of other artists say my songs and albums mean a lot to them. Isn't that what's important?
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 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 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 can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.
Lucinda Williams
I started writing more with my voice in mind.

Lucinda Williams
I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?
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'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'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.
Lucinda Williams
I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for anything.
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.

It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’n’ Roll)
Lucinda Williams
Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.
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
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
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
It's easier to write songs when you're single.
