More quotes by Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.
Ani DiFranco
Having more exposure is kind of a bittersweet thing for me, honestly, because it's nice to have a little more job security in life now.

The scary truth is, you have to scratch some veneer off to gauge where the moral fiber really is in certain pockets of society. It's raw. It's scary. But it gives us a place to work with.
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
I see a lot of young female performers who do not call themselves feminist, but would certainly believe in their own right to self-determination, and wouldn't want anybody to stop them from becoming themselves. They just refuse to recognize the relationship between their lives and those of other women, or feel any solidarity there.
Ani DiFranco
I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.
Ani DiFranco
I always feel I have to take a stand, And there's always someone on hand To hate me for standing there. I always feel I have to open my mouth, And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere.
Ani DiFranco
We are taught to view pain as an enemy, not a teacher. But pain is the right hand of growth and transformation. Pain is in the history of all human wisdom.
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
You've got your whole life to do something, And that's not very long. So why don't you give me a call When you're willing to fight For what you think is real, For what you think is right.
Ani DiFranco
My main tactic is to focus on the people I respect. The people I think are great people. Do I have their respect? Do I have their support? If the answer is yes, then I'm doing ok.
Ani DiFranco
I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.

I'm aware enough, I guess, of American labor history.

When you sit right down in the middle of yourself you're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair.
Ani DiFranco
The stronger I am in my personal life, the more energy I have to look outward, to address my society.
Ani DiFranco
We get a little further from perfection each year. I think that's called character. I think that's just how it goes.
