Liz Phair
I love stretching myself musically.

So how does Liz Phair feel about Lana Del Rey? Well, as a recording artist, I've been hated, I've been ridiculed, and conversely, hailed as the second coming. All that matters in the end is that I've been heard.

Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst

That's exactly what's exciting for me - the idea of infiltrating the male structure and affecting change from within.

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
I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.
Liz Phair
It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.
Liz Phair
I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.

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 just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that.
Liz Phair
When it's me in my living room, it's pretty pure, and then what gets recorded involves more people, and it keeps escalating from there.
