Vulnerability is something that I negotiate every day.
Ani DiFranco
Some people's minds we're not going to change. But if we can't, we need to bring more positive voices into the discussion.
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
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've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself, and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically, uh-uh. No.
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
If you don't live what you sing about, your mirror is gonna fade.
Ani DiFranco
So many of us, myself included, need to keep our sense of personal outrage in check. Each human beings position on the planet is one of intense humility.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.
Ani DiFranco
The minute my child was born, I was reborn as a feminist. It's so incredible what women can do... birthing naturally, as most women do around the globe, is a superhuman act. You leave behind the comforts of being human and plunge back into being an animal.
Ani DiFranco
I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.
Ani DiFranco
Life is a sleazy stranger, who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar.
Ani DiFranco
Don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.
Ani DiFranco
Women who don't control their own reproductive rights are not free.
Ani DiFranco
and god help you if you are an ugly girl course too pretty is also your doom cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room and god help you if you are a pheonix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying back
Ani DiFranco
I was attracted to a lot of different art forms - dancing, painting. But there's something about music that people hold so close. It's such a powerful art form, and that's why I live for it.
Ani DiFranco
One thing I do find in the lost generation or something is a kind of abhorrence of history, you know, like it's boring, dumb, or just not interesting. I think it's terribly interesting if you can get your head around how it relates to where you're standing right here and now.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
We barely have time to react in this world, let alone rehearse.
