Quote

When I look around I think this, this is good enough And I laugh at whatever life brings because when I look down, I just miss all the good stuff and when I look up, I just trip over things.

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.

There is no alternative. A Democrat is a Republican is a big businessman, and we're all consumers instead of citizens. It just manifests in the culture, in the music, in the art. I feel a little panicky about it.

I know the biggest crime is just to throw up your hands, Say, This has nothing to do with me, I just want to live as comfortably as I can...

Image
I know my mind is made of matter but I need to know exactly what is the matter at it's core? Because my heart is just a muscle and simply put, it's sore.

I just see a lot of people who are really terrified of the f-word. A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists.

My country tis of thee, to take swings at each other on talk show TV.

Virtue is relative at best, there's nothing worse than a sunset when your driving due West.

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.

Maybe you can keep me from never being happy, but you're not going to stop me from HAVING FUN!

I try to laugh at whatever life brings.

I'm a little hibernating animal. Anonymity is one of my favorite things. I mean, that's why I moved to New York when I was like 18, because there, there are just so many people that there's no one and you're just lost. You're completely invisible and I find that very liberating.

I think the gay community should get smart and drop the word marriage. Do you really need to change every right-wing Christian to make sure you get your equal rights? Eyes on the prize, we should be sticking to getting equal rights.

When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, And I like to take up space just because I can, And I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think.

You broke me bodily. The heart ain't the half of it, And I'll never learn to laugh at it In my good natured way. In fact, I'm laughing less in general, But I learned a lot at my own funeral. And I knew you'd be the death of me, So I guess that's the price I pay.

The world is my oyster. The road is my home. And I know that I'm better off Alone.

People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.

I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.

You can't start with imbalance and end with peace, be that in your own body, in an ecosystem or between a government and its people. What we need to strive for is not perfection, but balance.

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.
