I don't know if there are artists out there who love their own records. I haven't met any, and I'm kind of extreme in the other direction, but therein lies the impetus to keep working and keep making new songs and new records.

God help you if you are a phoenix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying past
Ani DiFranco
There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism.
Ani DiFranco
Love sets fire to your schedule, And then calls an end to time.
Ani DiFranco
When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things.
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 am getting nowhere with you and I can't let you go and I cant get through.
Ani DiFranco
My life may not be something special But it's never been lived before.
Ani DiFranco
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
They can call me crazy if I fail, all the chance that I need, is one-in-a-million and they can call me brilliant if I succeed.
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
We've got ego's like hairdos.
Ani DiFranco
I walk like I'm on a mission 'cause that's the way I groove. I got more and more to do and less and less to prove.
Ani DiFranco
When I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that 'just say it' attitude of my songs. There really is nothing personal or private it's all universal, if you can just find the courage to be open about your life.
Ani DiFranco
There is no alternative. A Democrat is a Republican is a big businessman, and we're all consumers instead of citizens. It just manifests in the culture, in the music, in the art. I feel a little panicky about it.
Ani DiFranco
spring is super in the supermarkets and the strawberries prance and glow never mind that they're all kinda tart and tasteless as strawberries go meanwhile wild things are not for sale anymore than they are for show so i'll be outside, in love with the kind of beauty it takes more than eyes to know
Ani DiFranco
If you like it, let it be, and if you don't please do the same.

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.

These days, my main guitar amps have been Magnatone. They're beautiful. Magnatones have actual tremolo, which I recently learned about guitar amps. Often what guitar amps call vibrato is really just a volume Up and Down. But Magnatone has a true vibrato, which is pitch bending. And so, it's just a lush sound.

I don't care if they eat me alive, I've got better things to do then survive.

Life is a B Movie: it's stupid and it's strange, it's a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said she said' sometimes there's some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.
