Shawn Colvin

“The road is my home.”

“I'm a big fan of the truth, even if it's not pretty.”

“I've always been drawn to the dark side of things.”

“I've always felt that the best songs are the ones that have a little bit of mystery to them.”

“I think I had a very clear idea of what I wanted to do in my life from a very early age.”

“I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm not a particularly good singer.”

“I'm not interested in being a pop star. I'm interested in being an artist.”

“Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It's like I'm taking dictation from my subconscious.”

“I tend to think of myself as a storyteller.”

“I'm not a confessional songwriter. I'm a storyteller.”

“I think the best songs are the ones that are the most personal, but also the most universal.”

“I'm a survivor. I've been through a lot of things, and I'm still here.”

“You learn to be grateful for the good things in your life.”

“I wanted to be a folk singer, and I wanted to be a rock and roll star.”

“My songs are my children.”
