More quotes by Ani DiFranco
It don't take a weather man to look around and see the weather, Jeb said he'd deliver Florida folks and boy did he ever, and we hold these truths to be self evident number one George W Bush is not president. Number two America isn't a true democracy. And number three the media is not fooling me.
Ani DiFranco
You are so lame. You always disappoint me. It's kind of like our running joke but it's really not funny and I just want you to live up to the image of you I create.
Ani DiFranco
I fear that Donald Trump will continue to be followed around by the media in its totality as he continues to rail against Hillary Clinton.
Ani DiFranco
I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.
Ani DiFranco
I try to laugh at whatever life brings.
Ani DiFranco
I always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army, But I can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour.

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
Patriarchy is a fundamental imbalance underlying society And it's one we rarely address because it's so universal. But as I get older, I see that peace is a product of balance.

I think if we can't use the word feminist, if it's some kind of taboo or dirty word, or means you're ugly, or you're angry, or you're not dateable [laughs], then you've just reduced the language by a whole concept.
Ani DiFranco
They see me as a symbol, and not a human being. That way they can kill me, say it’s not murder it’s a metaphor.
Ani DiFranco
Taken out of context I must seem so strange.
Ani DiFranco
Lying in bed, you know, you don't seem so tall.
Ani DiFranco
In a man's world, I am a woman by birth and after 19 times around I have found - they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth.
Ani DiFranco
We're led by denial like lambs to slaughter, serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water.
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
I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic, I guess.
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
Actually I don't know if honesty is a strength or some kind of weakness.
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!
