"Back in the 1960s, I saw Peter, Paul and Mary. I was at that age, about 14, and I was mesmerized." ― Lucinda Williams Topic(s): Power More From Lucinda Williams "Some of their best songs don’t have bridges and choruses. So that made me think I should trust my instincts. My songs were okay, I figured. I didn’t need to change anything." "I’m not just a doormat. I’m not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material, it’s about trying to find some strength through that." "Of course, I’m older now. I’m in a different place in my life than when I wrote the songs for ‘Car Wheels’ or ‘Essence’ or whatever. Different things were going on."

But when you’ve robbed a man of everything, he’s no longer in your power – he’s free again."― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
