More quotes by 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
How come I can pick my ears, but not my nose? Who made up that rule anyway? How can you say that's the way it is, that's just the way it goes, why don't you decide fore yourself what you can do?
Ani DiFranco
You've already put more than enough energy into worry. That's all women have been allowed to do, historically.
Ani DiFranco
Don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.
Ani DiFranco
A good brain ain't diddley, if you don't have the facts.

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
You rhapsodize about beauty, and my eyes glaze. Everything that I love is ugly. I mean really, you would be amazed. Just do me a favor, it's the least that you can do, just don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.
Ani DiFranco
A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.
Ani DiFranco
We've got ego's like hairdos.
Ani DiFranco
My main tactic is to focus on the people I respect. The people I think are great people. Do I have their respect? Do I have their support? If the answer is yes, then I'm doing ok.
Ani DiFranco
I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.
Ani DiFranco
There isn't much I have to say, that I wouldn't rather just shut up and do.
Ani DiFranco
I sing sometimes for the war that I fight, 'Cause every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.
Ani DiFranco
Promiscuity does not scare me as long as she is savvy and self possessed when puberty comes to call. My aim is to simply raise my daughter to be secure in her self worth and capable of happiness all on her own.
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
All the decent people, male and female, are feminists. The only people who are not feminists are those who believe that women are inherently inferior or undeserving of the respect and opportunity afforded men. Either you are a feminist or you are a misogynist. There is no box marked other.
Ani DiFranco
Somedays the line I walk turns out to be straight - Other days the line tends to deviate.
Ani DiFranco
We negotiate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction.
Ani DiFranco
Maybe you can keep me from never being happy, but you're not going to stop me from HAVING FUN!
Ani DiFranco
I'm aware enough, I guess, of American labor history.
