More quotes by Liz Phair
I just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that.

And, you know, I still haven't been contacted by Mick Jagger, either!
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
That's exactly what's exciting for me - the idea of infiltrating the male structure and affecting change from within.
Liz Phair
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
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 prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.
