It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.

I've got more than one membership to more than one club and I owe my life to the people that I love.

Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there's nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends.

Take me home. Take me home and leave me there. Think I'm gonna cry, don't know why. Think I'm gonna sing myself a lullabye. Feel free to listen. Feel free to stare.

Some people wear their smile like a disguise. Those people who smile a lot, watch their eyes. I know 'cause I'm like that a lot. You think everything's ok, and it is . . . 'til it's not.

My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do.

Cause to me, it's, there's nothing that's personal and private, it's all universal. There's no experience that I have ever had that's unique. And the fact that there is just certain stuff that we share but don't admit to and don't talk about. You know, what is that about?

Ani Difranco

After a while, I sorta start to think there is no such thing as private, people don't like to say things that are too 'personal' but you know, if there's anything I've learned doing this for years, it's that nothing is just personal to me, I'm not that unique.

Someone's got to be interested in how I feel, just because I'm here and I'm real.

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

Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall.

People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.

Just let me go, we have to be able to criticize what we love, to say what we have to say 'cause if you're not trying to make something better, then as far as I can tell, you are just in the way.

We barely have time to react in this world, let alone rehearse, and I don't think that I'm better than you but I don't think that I'm worse. Women learn to be women, and men learn to be men, and I don't blame it all on you, but I don't want to be your friend

Love was always the goal, and my point every step of the way was that nothing is wrong with love, no matter what flavor it comes in.

Seems like everyone's an actor or an actor's best friend, I wonder what was wrong to begin with that they should all have to pretend.

Love is a piano dropped from a fourth story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

People talk about my image, like I come in two dimensions, like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind, like what I happen to be wearing the day that someone takes my picture is my new statement for all womankind

There is nothing that is personal and private, it is all universal. All that stuff we share but don't admit to, and don't talk about...what is that about?

We have a complete void of progressive politics in this country right now. The will of the people goes ignored and unrealized. I'm searching for the people that can enter the political system, a strong third party. We need to consolidate.

Ani DiFranco

In order to keep anything cultural, logical, or ideological, you have to reinvent the reality of it.

Art is why I get up in the morning; my definition ends there. You know it doesn't seem fair, that I'm living for something I can't even define. And there you are right there, in the mean time.

Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

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.
