More quotes by Liz Phair
So how does Liz Phair feel about Lana Del Rey? Well, as a recording artist, I've been hated, I've been ridiculed, and conversely, hailed as the second coming. All that matters in the end is that I've been heard.

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.
Liz Phair
Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done.
Liz Phair
I don't have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to.
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.

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.

After my first record came out, I read everything. I was so amazed that I was in the press.
Liz Phair
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.
Liz Phair
I love stretching myself musically.
Liz Phair
I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

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
Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst
Liz Phair
I am just like you and everyone else. I am trying to live my life as best I can.
Liz Phair
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.
Liz Phair
Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
Liz Phair
No. You know what really bugs me about my videos? When they can't figure out what to do, they just have me change clothes five times.
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.
Liz Phair
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.
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
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
