More quotes by Liz Phair
Madonna is the speedboat, and the rest of us are just the Go-Gos on water skis.
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 prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.
Liz Phair
I love stretching myself musically.
Liz Phair
I knew that collaborating on songwriting would be difficult for a lot of people, because I was known very much, for my independence and the fact that I wrote these quirky songs that were not typical structure, not typical sound - you know, really original stuff.
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
I don't know it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.
Liz Phair
Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
Liz Phair
You been around enough to see that if you think you're it, you better check with me.
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
You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.
Liz Phair
I would argue that the uncomfortable feelings she elicits are simply the by-product of watching a woman wanting and taking like a man.
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
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 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 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
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
That's exactly what's exciting for me - the idea of infiltrating the male structure and affecting change from within.
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
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
