Girls are crazy and mean. They don't fight fair.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I didn't go out looking for fights as a kid, but if it was necessary, I'd fight. Fighting was a daily thing where we lived.
Suzanne Vega
Image
A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized.
Suzanne Vega
Image
If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.
Suzanne Vega
Image
A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized. Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that. That's why I write the way I do.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I always thought that if I was popular I must be doing something wrong.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I was the oldest child, and both my parents worked, so I had a great deal of responsibility from a very young age.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I think that if you have a strong narrative, if the idea of the song can be boiled down to the basics, it won't change that much.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I had some fears as a kid, but I was also relatively fearless. Maybe that's a result of living half the time in reality and the other half in fantasy.

Suzanne Vega
Image
My name is Luka I live on the second floor. I live upstairs from you, yes, I think you've seen me before.
Suzanne Vega
Image
Writing in other voices is almost Japanese in the sense that theres a certain formality there which allows me to sidestep the embarrassment of directly expressing to complete strangers the most intimate details of my life.
Suzanne Vega
Image
The thing that is most interesting about people is the way they are when no one is looking at them or the way they are when they are in private.
Suzanne Vega
Image
Of course, sometimes when you write personally, you are also writing about society, obliquely reflecting topical issues, but not in a way that people would expect you to or in the way that someone trying to make a point would.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I still consider myself a feminist.
Suzanne Vega
Image
That said, I've never thought the fact that I'm a woman was important to my work.
Suzanne Vega
Image
Don't make a threat and then not do it.
Suzanne Vega
Image
My mother wanted me to understand that as a woman I could do pretty much whatever I wanted to, that I didn't have to use sex or sexuality to define myself.
Suzanne Vega
Image
To me, a feminist belong in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don't see why someone who's a feminist should be thought of differently.

When I was pregnant, I felt filled with life, and I felt really happy. I ate well, and I slept well. I felt much more useful than I'd ever felt before.
