More quotes by 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
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 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
I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.
Suzanne Vega
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
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
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
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
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
That said, I've never thought the fact that I'm a woman was important to my work.
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 was the oldest child, and both my parents worked, so I had a great deal of responsibility from a very young age.
Suzanne Vega
Don't make a threat and then not do it.
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
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
In the end, my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time.
Suzanne Vega
It takes as much discipline to be a mother and a wife as it does to do anything else.
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.
Suzanne Vega
A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized.
Suzanne Vega
I still consider myself a feminist.
