But darling, I wish you well On your way to the wishing well
Patty Griffin
Most people like the sad songs. Some of the oldest songs known to man are sad. Listening to a voice singing something sad is a really great way to help you to feel sad when you need to.
Patty Griffin
It's occurred to me I need to laugh at myself more and that I don't need to be some sad folk singer all the time. I don't want to be the queen of pain.

But that's what happened when people from beverage companies bought record labels and radio stations as opposed to people who love music owning record labels.
Patty Griffin
I think listeners are hungry to hear quality.
Patty Griffin
Everyone is tortured. Do you know anyone who isn't?
