More quotes by Ani DiFranco
There's a certain window of time in the middle of the night out in Middle America where there's no bar open and nothing on TV. If you don't want to do too many drugs, you have to start bodily mutilation.
Ani DiFranco
People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.
Ani DiFranco
Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.
Ani DiFranco
The minute my child was born, I was reborn as a feminist. It's so incredible what women can do... birthing naturally, as most women do around the globe, is a superhuman act. You leave behind the comforts of being human and plunge back into being an animal.
Ani DiFranco
I've been a long time coming, and I'll be a long time gone. You've got your whole life to do something, and that's not very long.
Ani DiFranco
I don't always feel lucky, but I'm smart enough to try.
Ani DiFranco
I think it is very useful to know ourselves, but when we start naming and labeling, that is dangerous, that gets problematic. It negates that things are always changing. Besides, it's hard to pin a label onto something that's always moving.
Ani DiFranco
Either you are a feminist or you are a sexist/misogynist. There is no box marked 'other'.
Ani DiFranco
These days, my main guitar amps have been Magnatone. They're beautiful. Magnatones have actual tremolo, which I recently learned about guitar amps. Often what guitar amps call vibrato is really just a volume Up and Down. But Magnatone has a true vibrato, which is pitch bending. And so, it's just a lush sound.

If you’re not angry, then you’re just stupid, you don’t care. How else can you react when something’s so unfair?
Ani DiFranco
I'm searching, as we all are, for ways to feel good about myself. Certainly, looking in the mirror doesn't do it!
Ani DiFranco
Don't tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice. Tell me, isn't that your picture? Isn't that your voice.
Ani DiFranco
My writing just kind of exists out there in the air-it's all sort of intended as spoken, or sung, word. So, to commit them to the page...that way was kind of intimidating to me, yet intriguing, to try to reflect the rhythms and connotations and emotions that you can deliver, speaking-wise, on a page.
Ani DiFranco
God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.
Ani DiFranco
Women who don't control their own reproductive rights are not free.
Ani DiFranco
What I like way better than LGBT in terms of labeling sexuality actually is a scheme that comes to me from my friend Animal Prufrock wherein one is identified not by what they supposedly are but rather by what they are into. Which brings us to the terms hemosexual, shemosexual, and mosexual.
Ani DiFranco
They taught me different was wrong.
Ani DiFranco
My mother was a feminist, and she gave me some tools of self-possession and self-empowerment, but now that I have lived here for forty-three years, it's, like, whoa, there is just so much more to do, other than become myself. I'm still talking about it. I still drop the P-word, patriarchy, on unsuspecting people in everyday conversations.
Ani DiFranco
I am not a pretty girl. I don't want to be a pretty girl. No, I want to be more than a pretty girl.
Ani DiFranco
Emptiness has its solace in that there's nothing left to take.
