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.

More quotes by Amy Ray
When people say, 'Nothing's coming to me,' they usually don't like what's coming to them.
Amy Ray
Oh God, it's such a big world right now for artists. There are as many possibilities as you can have time for, getting your music out there with the internet, and Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook, and everything that you have, there is a way to spread the word. To me, the first thing you have to have is substance and content and real depth.
Amy Ray
When I do solo stuff, when I do anything involving music, it's very collaborative.
Amy Ray
I do think within any job you do, you have a chance to serve the community.
Amy Ray
Music is such a good way to resist. It keep you strong, it has dignity.
Amy Ray
I think art is definitely a great thing, and looked at as a way to open people up.

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 can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.
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
I grew up in the South and once you get raised on Jesus, it is kind of always a part of you even if you are a pagan, really.
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
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
Maybe our gender is one thing and our sexuality is another. And that's a cool thing I think.
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
But if you want to be a songwriter-based musician, whether you play punk or rock or country or jazz, whatever, you have to work on your songwriting and you have to work on being able to play in front of people, I think. That performance is how you create the groundwork for a lasting career.
Amy Ray
When I'm writing, which is 8-9 months out of the year, I'm in a concerted writing pace, where I work 5 days a week for at least a few hours a day, maybe a little bit more. But I won't work for more than 2 hours at a time. I'll work for a couple hours and take a break.
Amy Ray
Your hatred is rooted in your fear, and your paranoia and insecurities, well they don't belong here.
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
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.
