My distraction's my defense against this lack of inspiration Against this slow deflation Yeah the further the horizon The more it holds my gaze The foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's just a phase Just a phase.
Ani DiFranco
I can't wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no one ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me.
Ani DiFranco
I always feel I have to take a stand, And there's always someone on hand To hate me for standing there. I always feel I have to open my mouth, And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere.
Ani DiFranco
Don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.
Ani DiFranco
One thing that Barack Obama promised, one thing that we all know we must do is evolve our industry and our technology to being green and sustainable. We need to move away from fossil fuels and nuclear power, both of which I think spell doom for human society.
Ani DiFranco
You can't start with imbalance and end with peace, be that in your own body, in an ecosystem or between a government and its people. What we need to strive for is not perfection, but balance.
Ani DiFranco
We get a little further from perfection, each year on the road, I guess that's what they call character, I guess that's just the way it goes, better to be dusty than polished, like some store window mannequin, why don't you touch me where i'm rusty, let me stain your hands

I've been collecting some more high-end guitars. I have an old Martin D28 from the '60s, a beautiful, classic Martin that I know I played on 'Mariachi.'
Ani DiFranco
Birth is the epicenter of women's power
Ani DiFranco
Vulnerability is something that I negotiate every day.
Ani DiFranco
I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.
Ani DiFranco
In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.
Ani DiFranco
I knew naturally as a child not to forfeit my creativity to a world that's all laid out for me. I'll look at everything around me and vow to keep in mind that alla this is just someone's idea. It could have just as well been mine.
Ani DiFranco
I am 32 flavors and then some.
Ani DiFranco
It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret. In fact, it's so hard that I actually haven't left yet.
Ani DiFranco
I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.
Ani DiFranco
I am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.
Ani DiFranco
I just hope it was okay, I know it wasn't perfect, I hope in the end we can laugh and say it was all worth it.
Ani DiFranco
So many of us, myself included, need to keep our sense of personal outrage in check. Each human beings position on the planet is one of intense humility.
Ani DiFranco
I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall, and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all.
