Lucinda Williams quotes about
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?
grab might time
Sometimes I might borrow something from a song I started a long time ago and see if I can grab something.
songs
My approach to recording and all that is pretty organic. It just has to do with all the songs I wrote; go in and record them.
begin begun breaking city deal dealing grew heart loss mother
I can't begin to tell you how much my heart is breaking with what's going on in Louisiana. I haven't even begun to be able to deal with he loss of my mother, and now I'm dealing with the loss of the city my mother grew up in.
bed believe deeply faith far folk kinds nails people record religious sleeping snake statement
I was just making a statement about how far people will go to their faith . . . like sleeping on a bed of nails or snake handling. Those kinds of things show how deeply people believe in God. So to me, this record is like religious folk art. It's kind of my statement.
characters known lived man people talk
The man I lived with is a Christian, so I would talk to him about it. What would this person do in the Bible? What's the story around this person? Generally, when people talk about characters in the Bible, there's one thing they're known for, like Job.
life reflected time
The way I look at life, whatever I'm doing at that time in my life is going to be reflected in my songs, for the most part.
togetherness feels
I'm just like everyone. I like to feel togetherness with someone.
years feelings littles
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.
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.
