Lucinda Williams quotes about
broken-heart song writing
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.
ideas interesting world
It's really about living in your head... just looking out at the world, then going back into your head and tossing around a lot of ideas and coming out with something interesting to say.
night play arena
I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.
writing thinking guitar
I started writing little short stories and poems as soon as I learned to read and write. I think I was six years old. And then when I got to be eleven, twelve, and into my teens, I was just listening to records all the time, and I got a guitar. I started to take guitar lessons when I was twelve.
writing stuff firsts
I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.
ghetto emotional thinking
I think we start suffering as soon as we come out of the womb. I think that people tend to stereotype. When they think of suffering, they think of abuse - physical abuse, emotional abuse, poverty, that kind of thing. There's different levels of suffering. I don't think that it has to do with how much money you have - if you were raised in the ghetto or the Hamptons. For me it's more about perception: self-perception and how you perceive the world.
writing crafts able
You can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.
unrequited-love writing unrequited
Theres so many other things to write about than unrequited love.
beautiful genius loser
Blaze Foley was a genius and a beautiful loser.
dad writing sleep
I grew up around poets and novelists and my dad wrote poems about everything - from a cat sleeping in a window to a car wreck he passed on the highway. I learned not to censor myself: that was one of things I learned in my apprenticeship, my creative-writing apprenticeship with my dad.
rocks long way
It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’n’ Roll)
writing voice mind
I started writing more with my voice in mind.
trying just-being looks
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.
success congratulations ends
If you come into success too soon, you'll burn out and be finished before you know it. If you let the maturation process happen naturally, you'll be happier with yourself in the end.
