Text Quotes
But in the garden of simple, where all of us are nameless, you were never anything but beautiful to me  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don’t want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous ‘girl power’ sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it’s a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) Pop stardom is not very compelling. I’m much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there’s no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There’s no, like, ‘I’ll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.’  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I’ve been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I’ve always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I’ve been trying to be more true to myself, and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically, uh-uh. No  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) Before Katrina, you didn’t see criticism of the Bush administration in the media. Here they are, stealing elections, enacting illegal wars, huge crimes against humanity and democracy, and you didn’t even see criticism. It wasn’t until Katrina that people started to come down on them  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing ‘chick’ music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It’s part of the cultural dynamic, I guess  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I’m a little hibernating animal. Anonymity is one of my favorite things. I mean, that’s why I moved to New York when I was like 18, because there, there are just so many people that there’s no one and you’re just lost. You’re completely invisible and I find that very liberating  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I’ve been collecting some more high-end guitars. I have an old Martin D28 from the 60s, a beautiful, classic Martin that I know I played on ‘Mariachi.’  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I’ve never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn’t some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn’t stand in my way  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) These days, my main guitar amps have been Magnatone. They’re beautiful. Magnatones have actual tremolo, which I recently learned about guitar amps. Often what guitar amps call vibrato is really just a volume Up and Down. But Magnatone has a true vibrato, which is pitch bending. And so, it’s just a lush sound  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) The bathroom mirror has not budged, the woman who lives there can tell the truth from the stuff they say and looks me in the eye- says do you prefer the easy way? No? Well ok then, don’t cry  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) And God help you if you are an ugly girl course too pretty is also your doom cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room and God help you if you are a pheonix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying back  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) There’s a certain window of time in the middle of the night out in Middle America where there’s no bar open and nothing on TV. If you don’t want to do too many drugs, you have to start bodily mutilation  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I was supposed to be cool about this, yeah, I remember - cool was the plan. Tried to keep it all under wraps, but the wraps kept going slack. I keep turning round, I keep coming back  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I used to be a superhero; no one could touch me, not even myself. You are like a phone booth I somehow stumbled into, and now look at me - I am just like everybody else  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) The windows of my soul are made of one-way glass, don’t bother looking into my eyes if there’s something you want to know, just ask  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I wonder what you look like under your t-shirt. I wonder what you sound like when you’re not wearing words. I wonder what we have when we’re not pretending  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I’m the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they’re out for blood, I always give  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) At night when you’re asleep, self-hatred’s going to creep in. And you can blame it on the devil, the one who’s bed you sleep in  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) [The ‘corporate takeover of people’s lives’] also accounts for a lot of homogenization of culture. There are fast food restaurants everywhere. Every place tastes the same  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I think the gay community should get smart and drop the word marriage. Do you really need to change every right-wing Christian to make sure you get your equal rights? Eyes on the prize, we should be sticking to getting equal rights  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) Feminism is not only for women It’s something everyone can participate in, and evolve together, as the first step in the right direction. I see feminism as a tool to achieve that balance and peace  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) The world is my oyster. The road is my home. And I know that I’m better off Alone.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) God forbid you be an ugly girl, ‘course too pretty is also your doom, ‘cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I was attracted to a lot of different art forms - dancing, painting. But there’s something about music that people hold so close. It’s such a powerful art form, and that’s why I live for it.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) Patriarchy is a fundamental imbalance underlying society And it’s one we rarely address because it’s so universal. But as I get older, I see that peace is a product of balance.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) You can’t start with imbalance and end with peace, be that in your own body, in an ecosystem or between a government and its people. What we need to strive for is not perfection, but balance.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) But in the garden of simple, where all of us are nameless, you were never anything but beautiful to me.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) I’m recording our history now on the bedroom wall, and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes) It’s great being your own boss, but then, you know, you make your own mistakes, you know, and you own them. You know, so it’s empowering, and it’s also humbling along the way.  (Ani DiFranco Quotes)
