Why do you think I write these feminist songs, to try and teach myself to respect myself. You know, it's not because I'm a hero.
Ani DiFranco
I don't like my language watered down, I don't like my edges rounded off.
Ani DiFranco
Self-Preservation is a full-time occupation.
Ani DiFranco
Up up up up up up points the spire of the steeple but god's work isn't done by god it's done by people
Ani DiFranco
As any mom knows, having a baby is an extremely creative act and to love and create a baby, it's on par with any other creative act that we could come up with.
Ani DiFranco
Don't tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice. Tell me, isn't that your picture? Isn't that your voice.

Women who don't control their own reproductive rights are not free.

All the decent people, male and female, are feminists. The only people who are not feminists are those who believe that women are inherently inferior or undeserving of the respect and opportunity afforded men. Either you are a feminist or you are a misogynist. There is no box marked other.
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.

TIME is not a thing that's ours to lose.
Ani DiFranco
Second Wave feminism started with consciousness-raising groups, which sounds big but it's really just house parties. Women getting together and saying, You feel this way?! Me too! Hanging out is consciousness-raising.
Ani DiFranco
What we all have to admit to is that one man cannot save us. Unless we start energizing ourselves, all standing behind him with all of the force of our collective power then we can't expect mountains to be moved. And that is not exactly happening, we are a very comfortable population.
Ani DiFranco
When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, And I like to take up space just because I can, And I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think.
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
Change the narrative, change the laws.

I'm home in New Orleans!
Ani DiFranco
I just hope it was okay, I know it wasn't perfect, I hope in the end we can laugh and say it was all worth it.
Ani DiFranco
and I try to draw the line but it ends up running down the middle of me most of the time.
Ani DiFranco
Who says I like right angles? These are not my laws, these are not my rules.
Ani DiFranco
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.
