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

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.

I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!
Liz Phair
Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.
Liz Phair
I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.
Liz Phair
All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.
Liz Phair
Young kids don't have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I'm mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I'm bringing. It's very clear and defined.
Liz Phair
I don't have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to.
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
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
You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.
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
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.
