More quotes by 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
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
I always thought that if I was popular I must be doing something wrong.
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 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
I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.
Suzanne Vega
That said, I've never thought the fact that I'm a woman was important to my work.
Suzanne Vega
It takes as much discipline to be a mother and a wife as it does to do anything else.
Suzanne Vega
Don't make a threat and then not do it.
Suzanne Vega
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
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
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
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
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.
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
I was always inventing characters and making up stories.
Suzanne Vega
I still consider myself a feminist.
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
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
