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

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.

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.

Stepped out into the cold, collar high, under the slate gray sky. The air was smoking and the streets were dry, and I wasn't joking when I said goodbye.

I turned my pain into art and my hard work into a career. Helping myself has helped others. helping others has helped me.

My mother was a feminist, and she gave me some tools of self-possession and self-empowerment, but now that I have lived here for forty-three years, it's, like, whoa, there is just so much more to do, other than become myself. I'm still talking about it. I still drop the P-word, patriarchy, on unsuspecting people in everyday conversations.

a lesson must be lived in order to be learned and the clarity to see and stop this now that is what i've earned

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.

When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things.

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.

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.

Goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine. And the little plastic castle is a surprise everytime.

I'll walk the plank and I'll jump with a smile, cause if I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style.

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.

Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.

I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.

We barely have time to react in this world, let alone rehearse.
