I don't know it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.

I can feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Liz Phair
Image
I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.
Liz Phair

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
Liz Phair
Image
I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.

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.
