Lucinda Williams
It's always been hard for me to do without sounding precious or too corny or whatever.
Lucinda Williams
You can't really praise somebody's work and then criticize the process.

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.

I started writing more with my voice in mind.
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
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 am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
Lucinda Williams
As it turns out, now is the moment you've been waiting for
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
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
I've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people
Lucinda Williams
What I do as a songwriter is a constant force in my life, that I'm grateful to have.
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.
