I still define myself by the places that I've been.
Ani DiFranco
Image
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.

When I was a teenager in the '80s, I was the only girl in the guitar shop. Now if you walk into a music store, it's mostly teenage girls. It's great! It's an expansion of possibilities for young women, finding a way to tools even if they aren't directly handed those tools by adults.

I always feel I have to take a stand, And there's always someone on hand To hate me for standing there. I always feel I have to open my mouth, And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere.
Ani DiFranco
Image
The old farm roads a four lane that leads to the mall, and our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall.
Ani DiFranco
Image
I am not a pretty girl. I don't want to be a pretty girl. No, I want to be more than a pretty girl.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.
Ani DiFranco
Image
In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.
Ani DiFranco
Image
I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.
Ani DiFranco
Image
The scary truth is, you have to scratch some veneer off to gauge where the moral fiber really is in certain pockets of society. It's raw. It's scary. But it gives us a place to work with.

Image
Words are hotter than flames. Words are wetter than water.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Then I show up steady ready and proud and I find I've forgotten how to talk out loud. Isn't it just like you to bring me to my knees?

Image
Love sets fire to your schedule, And then calls an end to time.
Ani DiFranco
Image
I just hope it was okay, I know it wasn't perfect, I hope in the end we can laugh and say it was all worth it.

I am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.
