More quotes by Ani DiFranco
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
Ani DiFranco
We have a complete void of progressive politics in this country right now. The will of the people goes ignored and unrealized. I'm searching for the people that can enter the political system, a strong third party. We need to consolidate.
Ani DiFranco
I was attracted to a lot of different art forms - dancing, painting. But there's something about music that people hold so close. It's such a powerful art form, and that's why I live for it.
Ani DiFranco
Up up up up up up points the spire of the steeple but god's work isn't done by god it's done by people

No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.
Ani DiFranco
If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style. You won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess cause you've left me with nothing but I have worked with less.
Ani DiFranco
If you turn on the TV, you're going to get a certain palate, and if you go looking underneath the surface, there's a whole lot of stuff there that I think a lot of our generation would be really interested in.
Ani DiFranco
I turned my pain into art and my hard work into a career. Helping myself has helped others. helping others has helped me.
Ani DiFranco
One of my rules is: Never TRY to do anything. Just do it.
Ani DiFranco
I want somebody who sees the pointlessness and still keeps their purpose in mind I want somebody who has a tortured soul ...some of the time
Ani DiFranco
I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial, so I'd be hard pressed to feel embarrassed by anything I listen to. Besides, I have a three-year-old, so I don't have time for guilty pleasures anyway!
Ani DiFranco
A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.
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
Ani DiFranco
I see a lot of young female performers who do not call themselves feminist, but would certainly believe in their own right to self-determination, and wouldn't want anybody to stop them from becoming themselves. They just refuse to recognize the relationship between their lives and those of other women, or feel any solidarity there.
Ani DiFranco
It's not important to be defined, it's only important to use your time well.
Ani DiFranco
I am 32 flavors and then some.
Ani DiFranco
Like how could you do nothing, and say, 'I'm doing my best.' How could you take almost everything, and then come back for the rest? How could you beg me to stay, reach out your hands and plead, and then pack up your eyes and run away as soon as I agreed?
Ani DiFranco
What makes you so lavish that you can afford to spend every sober moment feeling angry and bored?
Ani DiFranco
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
They say that the truth will set you free But then again, so will a lie... It depends if you're trying to get to the promised land Or if you're just trying to get by.
Ani DiFranco
