I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
Lucinda Williams

I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for 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

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 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

I have such a great band. We had played all this material on the road. I just wanted to let it fly.
Lucinda Williams

I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
Lucinda Williams

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.
Lucinda Williams

I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?
Lucinda Williams

I started writing more with my voice in mind.
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 write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.
Lucinda Williams

I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.
Lucinda Williams

I'm dealing with things as they come along, and I'm talking about it.
Lucinda Williams

I'm fascinated by the whole concept of snake handling. When you read about the Pentecostal snake handlers, what strikes you the most is their commitment.
Lucinda Williams

I'm just like everyone. I like to feel togetherness with someone.
Lucinda Williams

I'm not just a doormat. I'm not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material, it's about trying to find some strength through that.
Lucinda Williams

I'm trying to get out of my own way.
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've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people.
