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.

I like to be an inspiration and an example of the idea that you can be independent, and it's no problem, and you can pay your rent, and it's empowering, and it's great. And that's true, but it also takes a really long time, and you have to have a lot of patience and a lot of conviction in why you want to remain independent.

Promiscuity does not scare me as long as she is savvy and self possessed when puberty comes to call. My aim is to simply raise my daughter to be secure in her self worth and capable of happiness all on her own.
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
No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.
Ani DiFranco
It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.
Ani DiFranco
Freedom and democracy, That's the word from Washington every day. Put America to sleep with warm milk and clichés, And people are expendable along the way.
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 did not design this game I did not name the stakes. I just happen to like apples and I am not afraid of snakes.
Ani DiFranco
I don't care if they eat me alive, I've got better things to do then survive.

[The 'corporate takeover of people's lives'] also accounts for a lot of homogenization of culture. There are fast food restaurants everywhere. Every place tastes the same.
Ani DiFranco
I was supposed to be cool about this, yeah, I remember - cool was the plan. Tried to keep it all under wraps, but the wraps kept going slack. I keep turning round, I keep coming back.
Ani DiFranco
I would rather have these things weigh on my mind. At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame, there must be a light of some kind.
Ani DiFranco
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.
