Alison Krauss: Everybody knows where to come in, and the plan is to always come in at the same time.

Dennis Lehane: It’s tempting, you know? Just riding off into the sunset or whatever. That’s the high.

Krauss: You couldn’t find it on the radio.

Lehane: Now take that to the worst case scenario.

Krauss: [Laughs] Nervous isn't the word, but uncomfortable is a more natural word.

Lehane: I don't want to be pretentious English lit class guy but, yeah.

Krauss: No, no, no.  You can't recreate who you are.

Lehane: Screw it. I didn’t think that was possible.

Krauss: We had a cassette player and he let me play that thing 11 hours in a row. He never asked me to switch it up or to take a break.

Lehane: It started in the school yard and went all the way up this hill and the police came by and broke it up. Like on TV.

Krauss: That night was fun—but I was mostly concerned about my dress staying up.

Lehane: Trumpets, the whole works.

Krauss: But the busier that I've gotten, just with normal life, the less those times show up.

Lehane: Oh, yeah. And I don't think I made any sense during the entire conversation. I don’t know.

Krauss: I like going to museums.
