Someone told me once that Lucinda Williams takes six years between albums, and that's what stuck to me; it's like, you really are a factory. You don't do things to make them, on your own time.

Instagram is a Roman arena of insults. Everyone is a lion, but it is fun.

I have been 130 lbs. as well as 215 lbs. I have had blond, strawberry blond, green, pink and purple hair, and none of that has ever exempted me from having lewd comments flung at me in the street.

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.

I don't feel famous and I didn't want my autobiography to be like a Paris Hilton story.

I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too; just different than mine.

I've belched a lot more since I had gall bladder surgery. I don't know why.
