More quotes by Amy Ray
Your hatred is rooted in your fear, and your paranoia and insecurities, well they don't belong here.
Amy Ray
It's important to have a voice it's more important to use it.
Amy Ray
I sit down and draw from my lyric book. I sit down and start looking through it and see if there is anything that strikes me that I've written.
Amy Ray
...and when I am negative, I will be negative only for as long as I have to be, until I can understand it, and then I will be positive...when I hate, I will turn my hatred into energy, when I am angry I will turn my anger into energy...and I will not be complacent.
Amy Ray
Tolerance ain't the same as acceptance, even though we all wish it was.
Amy Ray
If you're a teacher, for instance, there are ways to have positive representation of gay people in the classroom. Making sure that, historically, people are noted and archived, and that kids are getting just positive images of people who are gay.
Amy Ray
People that are much younger in areas that are much more, kind of, disenfranchised, I guess, as far as the gay movement goes, they still have a language that they've discovered around things. And they have a vocabulary to use, and they have a way to express themselves even when they're not accepted.
Amy Ray
You just have to let yourself go and not be worried about what other people are going to say or the things that might come out...Just jump right in full force and be as silly and stupid and adolescent and introspective as you want to be.
Amy Ray
I think the musicians I play with solo do a certain thing that the musicians we play with with the Indigo Girls don't do. It's just a different thing. And it sort of steers my writing in some ways.
Amy Ray
Music is such a good way to resist. It keep you strong, it has dignity.
Amy Ray
If some event happens and it seems really important to me and moving to me, I'll write it down in my lyric book knowing that it will come out in a song.
Amy Ray
Majoring in religion, listening to TV evangelists interpret the scriptures and dictate my offerings-I found my God inside myself-in every moment and piece of matter. Everything is animate.
Amy Ray
Your perspective probably depends on where you live.
Amy Ray
I don't typically work that late into the night in a studio, I'm more productive during the day.
Amy Ray
My personal feeling is that people need to be careful not to start over-analyzing and taking things apart and trying to be critical.
Amy Ray
Your actions will follow you full circle round,the higher the leap, I said, the harder the ground!
Amy Ray
ahhhh...organic and rich like good soil... makes me want to listen and hear it grow. the songs are honest and dimensional. it's music to my ears.
Amy Ray
The impossibility and hypocrisy of a situation where kids are expected to be honest but are judged and alienated from their community because of it should not escape us.
Amy Ray
I think you just have to take the bad with the good and you're going to get hurt more, but it's worth it.
Amy Ray
The best days I have are usually days where I'm out in the woods and something happens, like I see an amazing animal like a fox, or I get a glimpse of a wild pig or something that I never see. Or crazy things happen.
