More quotes by Lucinda Williams
The more I separate myself from my upbringing, the more I appreciate what it's done for me.
Lucinda Williams
So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.
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
I usually have an idea of how I want a song to sound, but I don't always know how to get there
Lucinda Williams
I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?
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
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
Lucinda Williams
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
It's always been hard for me to do without sounding precious or too corny or whatever.
Lucinda Williams
I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.
Lucinda Williams
You can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.
Lucinda Williams
Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.
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 think in the world of rock music or whatever it's called - anything outside of Nashville - there's a lot more freedom within that industry to do whatever you want to do.
Lucinda Williams
I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
Lucinda Williams
I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.
Lucinda Williams
What seems conceit, bad manners or cynicism is always a sign of things no ear have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.
Lucinda Williams
You can't really praise somebody's work and then criticize the process.
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
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
