More quotes by Liz Phair
I am a feminist, and I define myself: Be yourself, because if you can get away with it, that is the ultimate feminist act.
Liz Phair
Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.

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 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
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
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
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?
Liz Phair
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.
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
And, you know, I still haven't been contacted by Mick Jagger, either!
