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

You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
Lucinda Williams
