More quotes by Liz Phair
That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then... Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win
Liz Phair
That's exactly what's exciting for me - the idea of infiltrating the male structure and affecting change from within.
Liz Phair
It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.
Liz Phair
When it's me in my living room, it's pretty pure, and then what gets recorded involves more people, and it keeps escalating from there.
Liz Phair
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
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up? Finding someone else you can't get enough of. Someone who wants to be with you, too.
Liz Phair
I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.
Liz Phair
There's even more stuff that I'd like to release, but I'm scared to, that's really, um, nerdy... not nerdy in a good way. Like, silly.
Liz Phair
All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.
Liz Phair
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.

Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst
Liz Phair
What does it mean when something changes how it's always been?
Liz Phair
The other day I was reading a blog and I linked over to Streisand's Web site, and it was amazing politically. She's so insightful and incisive. And she also says whatever she wants.
Liz Phair
I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.
Liz Phair
I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.
Liz Phair
I've lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point.
Liz Phair
I don't know it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.
Liz Phair
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
Liz Phair
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.
Liz Phair
Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.
