I never try to imagine the future. I kinda think it's a waste of time. I live in the now.
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
If more people were screamin', I could relax.
Ani DiFranco
I'm home in New Orleans!
Ani DiFranco
People used to make records, as in the record of an event, the event of people playing music in a room, and now everything's cross-marketing, its about sunglasses and shoes, or guns and drugs that you choose.
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
Art may imitate life, but life imitates TV.
Ani DiFranco
I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.
Ani DiFranco
I do believe that music has an intense power to connect us together, to inspire us to become ourselves.
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
Love isn't over when the sheets are stained.
Ani DiFranco
Someone's got to be interested in how I feel, just because I'm here and I'm real.
Ani DiFranco
I am a work in progress Dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding Offering me intricate patterns of questions Rhythms that never come clean And strengths that you still haven't seen
Ani DiFranco
I am still praying for revolution.
Ani DiFranco
What we all have to admit to is that one man cannot save us. Unless we start energizing ourselves, all standing behind him with all of the force of our collective power then we can't expect mountains to be moved. And that is not exactly happening, we are a very comfortable population.
Ani DiFranco
What I like about being independent [in the music industry] is that anybody who does play the album on the radio and anybody who does choose to write in the media does so because they want to, because they like it or because they find something interesting there, not because they have to.
Ani DiFranco
Life is a sleazy stranger, who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar.
Ani DiFranco
Second Wave feminism started with consciousness-raising groups, which sounds big but it's really just house parties. Women getting together and saying, You feel this way?! Me too! Hanging out is consciousness-raising.
Ani DiFranco
In order to keep anything cultural, logical, or ideological, you have to reinvent the reality of it.
Ani DiFranco
I would rather have these things weigh on my mind. At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame, there must be a light of some kind.
Ani DiFranco
