More quotes by Ani DiFranco
And if there's anything I do it's change and grow. I'm just a living being. Every year of my life I seem to learn that everything I know is wrong.
Ani DiFranco
When all you can think of is your own personal problems, you have nothing to give to your society. If you're trying to figure out where your next meal is coming from, you can't go march on Washington.
Ani DiFranco
Now I wonder who is gonna be president: Tweedle Dumb, or Tweedle Dumber-- And who is gonna have the big block buster box office this summer.
Ani DiFranco
We negotiate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction.
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 is a piano dropped from a fourth story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ani DiFranco
If you don't live what you sing about, your mirror is gonna fade.
Ani DiFranco
We're led by denial like lambs to slaughter, serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water.
Ani DiFranco
Take away our play stations and we are a third world nation.
Ani DiFranco
You got to look outside- your eyes- you got to think outside- your brain- you got to walk outside- your life- to where the neighborhoods change.
Ani DiFranco
Squint your eyes and look closer I'm not between you and your ambition I am a poster girl with no poster I am thirty-two flavors and then some And I'm beyond your peripheral vision So you might want to turn your head Cause someday you might find you're starving and eating all of the words you said.
Ani DiFranco
In order to keep anything cultural, logical, or ideological, you have to reinvent the reality of it.
Ani DiFranco
I'm sounding out the silence, avoiding all the words.
Ani DiFranco
And thoughts of no other man but you could possibly get through the picket lines to enter into my mind.
Ani DiFranco
I don't know if there are artists out there who love their own records. I haven't met any, and I'm kind of extreme in the other direction, but therein lies the impetus to keep working and keep making new songs and new records.
Ani DiFranco
I did a lot of work with myself over the course of being pregnant and the first few months of being pregnant. It's nice, the pace of being pregnant it gives you a long time to not just germinate a baby but germinate the mother that you're gonna be.
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
I am not an angry girl, but it seems I've got everyone fooled. Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger and not to their own fear. Imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean, knowing full well they prefer you dirty and smiling.
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
Too much is how I love you, but too well is how I know you.
