You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.

I am comfortable performing now. I love it!

I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment?

It seems to me like the Internet allows you to break that structure a little bit. You know, here's your CD that's going into stores, here's your EP that you offer online, here's a subscription for songs you recorded on the road, here's your live stuff streaming.

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say.

Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It's still the way I write, actually.

The big news already broke. The file-sharing and all that stuff, it's a done deal. And I think figuring out how to make that a fair exchange for the people that make music is still an issue

I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I'm coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art.
Liz Phair
Image
Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.

When I was young, I used to need other people's albums and I got very involved with their music and it meant a lot to me.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
Liz Phair
Image
I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.
Liz Phair
Image
Young kids don't have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I'm mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I'm bringing. It's very clear and defined.
Liz Phair
Image
I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.
Liz Phair
Image
I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!

Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done.

Just to prove i was right that it's harder to be friends than lovers and you shouldn't try and mix the two, cause if you do and then you're still unhappy, then you know that the problem is you.

I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.

I mean, I kind of remember... I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

Well, if you've got a one-in-a-million girl don't let her get away cause the next one-in-a-million girl is a million girls away.
