More quotes by Ani DiFranco
I do believe that music has an intense power to connect us together, to inspire us to become ourselves.
Ani DiFranco
I did a lot of work with myself over the course of being pregnant and the first few months of being pregnant. It's nice, the pace of being pregnant it gives you a long time to not just germinate a baby but germinate the mother that you're gonna be.
Ani DiFranco
There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism. People look at me sideways now and are like, With everything going on, the destruction of the environment, these endless wars, this capitalism that has a stranglehold on our culture and our world and you're talking about feminism still?
Ani DiFranco
A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.
Ani DiFranco
I had a little bit of resistance to the idea of taking energy away from my work, and the baby comes along and, lo and behold, that's exactly what happens.
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.
Ani DiFranco
Playing show after show is like my bread and butter.
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 way I play guitar is very, very hard and I bloody myself incredibly without the tape. And the nails are my picks.
Ani DiFranco
I cannot name this, I cannot explain this, and I really don't want to so just call me shameless.
Ani DiFranco
My political mission is as acute as ever. For me, in addition to kind of looking at the world and trying to engage in my society politically, having the kid around sort of makes me check in with myself. I think you're all busy trying to fix the world, but what about yourself?
Ani DiFranco
The world is my oyster. The road is my home. And I know that I'm better off Alone.
Ani DiFranco
I've been saying the Occupy Movement has got the ball rolling, and now we need to take the fight to the great indoors!
Ani DiFranco
What I like way better than LGBT in terms of labeling sexuality actually is a scheme that comes to me from my friend Animal Prufrock wherein one is identified not by what they supposedly are but rather by what they are into. Which brings us to the terms hemosexual, shemosexual, and mosexual.
Ani DiFranco
And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.
Ani DiFranco
I know my mind is made of matter but I need to know exactly what is the matter at it's core? Because my heart is just a muscle and simply put, it's sore.
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
What doesn't bend, breaks.
Ani DiFranco
Then I show up steady ready and proud and I find I've forgotten how to talk out loud. Isn't it just like you to bring me to my knees?
Ani DiFranco
Like how could you do nothing, and say, 'I'm doing my best.' How could you take almost everything, and then come back for the rest? How could you beg me to stay, reach out your hands and plead, and then pack up your eyes and run away as soon as I agreed?
Ani DiFranco
