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.
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.

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 write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.
Lucinda Williams
Image
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
Lucinda Williams
Image
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
Image
You can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.
Lucinda Williams
Image
I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
Lucinda Williams
Image
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
Image
I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for anything.

Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.
