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

More quotes by Lucinda Williams
I grew up in a very literate, very independent household where people spoke their ideas and were very supportive of helping each other find their own way
Lucinda Williams
I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for anything.
Lucinda Williams
I started writing more with my voice in mind.
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 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
Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.
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
The more I separate myself from my upbringing, the more I appreciate what it's done for me.
Lucinda Williams
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.
Lucinda Williams
So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.
Lucinda Williams
It's always been hard for me to do without sounding precious or too corny or whatever.
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 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
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 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'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.
Lucinda Williams
I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?
Lucinda Williams
I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
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 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.
