  • Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll; women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant.
    - Ani DiFranco
  • 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
  • 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
  • I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.
    - Ani DiFranco
  • I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.
    - Ani DiFranco
  • 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.
