More quotes by Ani DiFranco
I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.
Ani DiFranco
I still define myself by the places that I've been.
Ani DiFranco
I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.
Ani DiFranco
What makes you so lavish that you can afford to spend every sober moment feeling angry and bored?
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.
Ani DiFranco
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
At night when you're asleep, self-hatred's going to creep in. And you can blame it on the devil, the one who's bed you sleep in.
Ani DiFranco
When you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it's own country and that it's round and borderless.
Ani DiFranco
What doesn't bend, breaks.
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
Before Katrina, you didn't see criticism of the Bush administration in the media. Here they are, stealing elections, enacting illegal wars, huge crimes against humanity and democracy, and you didn't even see criticism. It wasn't until Katrina that people started to come down on them.
Ani DiFranco
Too much is how I love you, but too well is how I know you.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
We've got ego's like hairdos.
Ani DiFranco
Love isn't over when the sheets are stained.
Ani DiFranco
I'm searching, as we all are, for ways to feel good about myself. Certainly, looking in the mirror doesn't do it!
Ani DiFranco
I am a work in progress Dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding Offering me intricate patterns of questions Rhythms that never come clean And strengths that you still haven't seen
Ani DiFranco
I had a little bit of resistance to the idea of taking energy away from my work, and the baby comes along and, lo and behold, that's exactly what happens.
Ani DiFranco
