More quotes by 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
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
Someone's got to be interested in how I feel, just because I'm here and I'm real.
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
It don't take a weather man to look around and see the weather, Jeb said he'd deliver Florida folks and boy did he ever, and we hold these truths to be self evident number one George W Bush is not president. Number two America isn't a true democracy. And number three the media is not fooling me.
Ani DiFranco
Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.
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
I sincerely believe patriarchy to be at the root of all of our social diseases and feminism, it's antidote, to be a prerequisite to peace on earth. feminism provides an alternative way of thinking and structuring things that focuses on and prioritizes relationships and de-emphasizes hierarchy, separation and domination.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
Self-Preservation is a full-time occupation.

Lying in bed, you know, you don't seem so tall.
Ani DiFranco
I've been waiting for sleep to offer up the day with both hands.
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
And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.
Ani DiFranco
A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.

Take away our play stations and we are a third world nation.
Ani DiFranco
It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret. In fact, it's so hard that I actually haven't left yet.
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 always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army, But I can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour.
Ani DiFranco
I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.
