That said, I've never thought the fact that I'm a woman was important to my work.
Suzanne Vega
I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.
Suzanne Vega
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.
Suzanne Vega
I was always inventing characters and making up stories.
Suzanne Vega
I think people are sexy when they have a sense of humor, when they are smart, when they have some sense of style, when they are kind, when they express their own opinions, when they are creative, when they have character.
Suzanne Vega
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
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
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
I fingerpick a lot because I can get more of a range of feeling from the guitar than I can when I bash away with a pick.
Suzanne Vega
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
I always thought that if I was popular I must be doing something wrong.
Suzanne Vega
So you eat, you sleep, and then this wonderful child comes out, but you don't feel like you have any control over that process, over her, over her character and who she is.
Suzanne Vega
It's striking how commercially viable that impulse for instant intimacy is right now, especially in songs and writing.
Suzanne Vega
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
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
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.
