More quotes by Ani DiFranco
People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.
Ani DiFranco
All the decent people, male and female, are feminists. The only people who are not feminists are those who believe that women are inherently inferior or undeserving of the respect and opportunity afforded men. Either you are a feminist or you are a misogynist. There is no box marked other.
Ani DiFranco
How come I can pick my ears but not my nose?
Ani DiFranco
Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.
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
When everything else seems unclear, at least I'll know I do it for the joy it brings.
Ani DiFranco
Maybe you don't like your job, maybe you didn't get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there's no escape, there's no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.
Ani DiFranco
What doesn't bend, breaks.
Ani DiFranco
Promiscuity does not scare me as long as she is savvy and self possessed when puberty comes to call. My aim is to simply raise my daughter to be secure in her self worth and capable of happiness all on her own.
Ani DiFranco
I cannot name this, I cannot explain this, and I really don't want to so just call me shameless.
Ani DiFranco
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?
Ani DiFranco
I mean, playing music at home and writing and hanging out with my guitar is kind of medicinal for me, but when I bring the songs to people on stage, it's very joyous.
Ani DiFranco
I'm aware enough, I guess, of American labor history.
Ani DiFranco
In order to keep anything cultural, logical, or ideological, you have to reinvent the reality of it.
Ani DiFranco
Life is a B Movie: it's stupid and it's strange, it's a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said she said' sometimes there's some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.
Ani DiFranco
And I was shocked, To see the mistakes of each generation, Will just fade like a radio station, If you drive out of range...
Ani DiFranco
Don't tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice. Tell me, isn't that your picture? Isn't that your voice.
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
I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.
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.
