We have to really be intentional right now about holding the media accountable, and taking back the discourse and terms of discussion. It's been hijacked.
Ani DiFranco
Image
What I like about being independent [in the music industry] is that anybody who does play the album on the radio and anybody who does choose to write in the media does so because they want to, because they like it or because they find something interesting there, not because they have to.

First decide what you got to do, then go out and do it. All we can do is to see each other through it.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.
Ani DiFranco
Image
People talk about my image like I come in two dimensions, like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind, like what I happen to be wearing the day that someone takes my picture is my new statement for all womankind.

Outside sleep's open window, between the drops of rain, history is writing a recipe book for every earthly pain.

We get a little further from perfection, each year on the road, I guess that's what they call character, I guess that's just the way it goes, better to be dusty than polished, like some store window mannequin, why don't you touch me where i'm rusty, let me stain your hands

now the profile of our country looks a little less hard nosed / but that picket line persisted and that clinic's since been closed / they keep pounding their fists on reality hoping it will break / but I don't think there's a one of us leads a life free of mistakes

Just let me go, we have to be able to criticize what we love, to say what we have to say 'cause if you're not trying to make something better, then as far as I can tell, you are just in the way.
Ani DiFranco
Image
There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent. But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Let's show them all how it's done, let's do it all imperfectly.
Ani DiFranco
Image
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...
Ani DiFranco
Image
I walk like I'm on a mission 'cause that's the way I groove. I got more and more to do and less and less to prove.
Ani DiFranco
Image
I really have been enjoying performing more lately than I have in a long time and you know, it's all about that sort of centered feeling that I have now. You know, thanks to, not just my kid, but her father before her. You know, I have a kind of a grounding through them that I really relish, and I think is also good for my work, you know.

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

For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.

We've got ego's like hairdos.

I sincerely believe patriarchy to be at the root of all of our social diseases and feminism, it's antidote, to be a prerequisite to peace on earth. feminism provides an alternative way of thinking and structuring things that focuses on and prioritizes relationships and de-emphasizes hierarchy, separation and domination.

Vulnerability is something that I negotiate every day.

I've been saying the Occupy Movement has got the ball rolling, and now we need to take the fight to the great indoors!
