Liz Phair Quotes

I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean? Picture Quote #1

I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I’m coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art Picture Quote #1

I don’t have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to Picture Quote #1

I don’t always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life! Picture Quote #1

Like, I kind of developed my musical style in a vacuum. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff, the way I wrote was in my bedroom, really privately. It’s still the way I write, actually Picture Quote #1

I just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that Picture Quote #1

I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad Picture Quote #1

Guys don't really don't wanna hear if it's really smart, and women feel uncomfortable if you reveal stuff they're going to have to remember they did themselves Picture Quote #1

Am I coasting on some early success? Yeah. It was a good lucky break for me. But I would rather earn my way back again than simply conform to what people are expecting Picture Quote #1

You know, you become an artist, you become an observer, of life, and you digest life by making art about it Picture Quote #1

You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage Picture Quote #1

That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then. Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win Picture Quote #1

I mean, I kind of remember. I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to Picture Quote #1

Everything that people lob at you who don't know you, it all hurts. When you're doing something as simple as making music, which really, theoretically, shouldn't hurt anyone - I mean, it's a song! Step back for five seconds and laugh Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think Picture Quote #1

The license said you had to stick around until I was dead, but if you’re tired of looking at my face I guess I already am Picture Quote #1

I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I’m finished, present it to people Picture Quote #1

I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment? Picture Quote #1

You been around enough to see that if you think you’re it, you better check with me Picture Quote #1

Just to prove I was right that it’s harder to be friends than lovers and you shouldn’t try and mix the two, cause if you do and then you’re still unhappy, then you know that the problem is you Picture Quote #1

Young kids don’t have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I’m mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I’m bringing. It’s very clear and defined Picture Quote #1

Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities Picture Quote #1

Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done Picture Quote #1

I have my head screwed on right. I haven’t been this way in a long time Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind people not liking me as long as there’s mutual respect Picture Quote #1

I don’t like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn’t have. I don’t represent anything Picture Quote #1

I am just like you and everyone else. I am trying to live my life as best I can Picture Quote #1

I always give the encore over to chaos, so people can yell out requests and I can hack my way through a song that I don’t really know anymore Picture Quote #1

All parents gush about what it’s like to be a parent. I love it Picture Quote #1

After my first record came out, I read everything. I was so amazed that I was in the press Picture Quote #1
