I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.
Lucinda WilliamsBelieve it or not, people went so far as to suggest that I might not be able to write songs anymore because now I am married. I tried to explain again that there are other things to write about besides boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy breaks up with girl, girl is sad.
Lucinda WilliamsYou can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write.
Lucinda WilliamsI 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.
