More quotes by Liz Phair
I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.

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
I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.
Liz Phair
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.
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
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
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 just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that.
Liz Phair
I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.
