Lucinda Williams quotes about
independent ideas people
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
holiday singing sitting
I feel like it's really kind of a sit-down album, much in the same way I imagine Billie Holiday or someone sitting down in the studio and singing.
alzheimers littles way
The thing about Alzheimer's is that it's... it's sort of like all these little, small deaths along the way, before they actually physically die.
writing ideas bullshit
There's this whole idea that you've got the blues and you're going to write. Bullshit. When I feel really bad, all I want to do is sit in front of the TV with the remote control and check out.
grateful force constant
What I do as a songwriter is a constant force in my life, that I'm grateful to have.
writing ideas ems
I'm always writing ideas down and then I stick em in my pocket and put em in that folder so I don't lose them. Like, somebody might say something, and I'll go, oh that's a good line, and that goes in the folder, too. It's kind of an ongoing process for me.

You can't really praise somebody's work and then criticize the process.
ideas worry inspired
I would worry if I wasn't coming up with ideas, if I wasn't inspired.
asked couple dad evenings felt fond hank living memories met might playing reading seemed shows sitting songs talk time together williams writer
We've done about a half-dozen of these shows together over the years, and from the first time, it seemed special. It felt comfortable to me, because I was used to sitting around with dad and some of his writer cronies in the living room, playing songs and him reading a couple of poems. I have fond memories of those evenings when we'd be sitting around and I would be asked to play. I might play a Hank Williams song or something like that, and he'd talk about the time he met Hank Williams.
speaking
Where they're just speaking in tongues, like they're on a drug or something... Would I really do that if that's what it would take?
couple
Y'all have made us so comfortable that we're going to do a couple of new songs,
car life older songs wrote
Of course, I'm older now. I'm in a different place in my life than when I wrote the songs for 'Car Wheels' or 'Essence' or whatever. Different things were going on.
