More quotes by Ani DiFranco
now the profile of our country looks a little less hard nosed / but that picket line persisted and that clinic's since been closed / they keep pounding their fists on reality hoping it will break / but I don't think there's a one of us leads a life free of mistakes

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

Actually I don't know if honesty is a strength or some kind of weakness.
Ani DiFranco
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

Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
Ani DiFranco
One thing that Barack Obama promised, one thing that we all know we must do is evolve our industry and our technology to being green and sustainable. We need to move away from fossil fuels and nuclear power, both of which I think spell doom for human society.

My distraction's my defense against this lack of inspiration Against this slow deflation Yeah the further the horizon The more it holds my gaze The foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's just a phase Just a phase.

I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.

People used to make records, as in the record of an event, the event of people playing music in a room, and now everything's cross-marketing, its about sunglasses and shoes, or guns and drugs that you choose.
Ani DiFranco
Mostly, I stay out of social media conversations. But sometimes, they hunt me down and shoot at me anyway!
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
I don't hate being compared with female musicians. I don't mind that at all. I have no problem with seeing connections between women's work.
Ani DiFranco
There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent. But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.
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 think it is very useful to know ourselves, but when we start naming and labeling, that is dangerous, that gets problematic. It negates that things are always changing. Besides, it's hard to pin a label onto something that's always moving.
Ani DiFranco
Some people wear their smile like a disguise. Those people who smile a lot, watch their eyes. I know 'cause I'm like that a lot. You think everything's ok, and it is . . . 'till it's not.
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.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.
