A biography for Lucinda Williamshasn’t been written yet.
“I started writing songs, I guess, when I was about 13 or 14, but I didn't know if they were good enough yet or anything.”
“I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.”
“I'm going to have my moody times.”
“First thing, I throw on some jeans, a T-shirt and my Keds sneakers and make coffee. That is actually my favorite time of day. That is when I do my songwriting, when I am in writing mode.”
“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.”
“I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.”
“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.”
“I have had to come to terms with wearing glasses.”
“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.”
“I can speak for most songwriters - those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that.”
“We just did a few takes of a song and just picked the best one. It was real organic and genuine.”
