More quotes by Amy Ray
Music is such a good way to resist. It keep you strong, it has dignity.
Amy Ray
When I do solo stuff, when I do anything involving music, it's very collaborative.
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
At some point I was hanging around with the Butchies - a band I ended up playing with a lot - and it just brought out this thing in me... and it felt very different from the Indigo Girls.
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
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
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
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.
Amy Ray
Your actions will follow you full circle round,the higher the leap, I said, the harder the ground!
Amy Ray
An idealist who couldn't cope becomes cynical.
Amy Ray
But the reality is that we are a folk band.
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
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
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
Tolerance ain't the same as acceptance, even though we all wish it was.
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
The only thing I have going on at a personal level is just the way I knew I was gay and I knew what that meant inside me, but the gender aspect of who I am came later.
Amy Ray
I'm not really thinking about what I'm talking about or what I'm willing to achieve. I'm just kind of letting it come out, recording it.
Amy Ray
When people say, 'Nothing's coming to me,' they usually don't like what's coming to them.
Amy Ray
I feel like there are a lot of people doing a lot of hard work. I think it's too early to judge, and I don't think the gay community is in any way falling short.
