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
I loved the atmosphere of the dance studios - the wooden floors, the big mirrors, everyone dressed in pink or black tights, the musicians accompanying us - and the feeling of ritual the classes had.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I was always inventing characters and making up stories.
Suzanne Vega
Image
It takes as much discipline to be a mother and a wife as it does to do anything else.
Suzanne Vega
Image
If you have to fight a crowd of boys, it's best to go for the biggest one. That way you won't have to fight them all. The others will see that you mean business and you will win their respect.
Suzanne Vega
Image
