More From Ani DiFranco
- "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."
- "I hate it when people don’t recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men’s work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal – men’s writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context."
- "I’ve been a long time coming, and I’ll be a long time gone. You’ve got your whole life to do something, and that’s not very long."
