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

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?

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
Image
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

What I do as a songwriter is a constant force in my life, that I'm grateful to have.

I'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.

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.
