“I 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.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldKindDifferentSelfSufferingLevelsPovertyEmotionalPerceptionAbuseRaisedPerceiveStereotypeEmotional AbuseWombGhettoDifferent LevelsPhysical AbuseSelf PerceptionHamptons Author:Lucinda Williams

I'm serious! I would get asked that!” PeopleWritingKindSongWonderSeriousMarriedAsk Me Author:Lucinda Williams
“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.

It's kind of an ongoing process for me.” WritingKindIdeasMightProcessLosesLinesDown AndSticksPocketsEmsSongwritingOngoingFolders Author:Lucinda Williams
“The old jazz singers or old blues singers, you always just saw them kind of sitting down and singing. They weren't worried as much about their voice sounding perfect.
