As it turns out, now is the moment you've been waiting for
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 started writing more with my voice in mind.
Lucinda Williams
I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for anything.

Lucinda Williams
I write the songs, go in and record them, then I listen to everything and decide how it all fits together.
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
I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
Lucinda Williams
I'm pretty much the same person I was 20 years ago. My politics haven't changed. I have the same feeling of idealism. But I am a little bit wiser and more experienced.
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
I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?
Lucinda Williams
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
