More quotes by Liz Phair
I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

What does it mean when something changes how it's always been?

Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
Liz Phair
I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

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.

Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It's still the way I write, actually.

I don't have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to.

I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.

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
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
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 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
Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say.
Liz Phair
I am comfortable performing now. I love it!
Liz Phair
I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.
Liz Phair
Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst

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.
