More quotes by 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.

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
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
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 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.
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
It's all right if things don't change today. We're gonna keep doing what we do. The world can either catch up or not.
Amy Ray
Your hatred is rooted in your fear, and your paranoia and insecurities, well they don't belong here.
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
An idealist who couldn't cope becomes cynical.
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
But the reality is that we are a folk band.
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.
