I have something to prove, as long as I know there's something that needs improvement, and you know that everytime I move, I make a woman's movement. Ani DiFranco everytimeimprovementlong Change image and share on social
When I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that 'just say it' attitude of my songs. There really is nothing personal or private; it's all universal, if you can just find the courage to be open about your life. Ani DiFranco attitudecourageexplicit share on social
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 animalanonymitycompletely share on social
My political mission is as acute as ever. For me, in addition to kind of looking at the world and trying to engage in my society politically, having the kid around sort of makes me check in with myself. I think you're all busy trying to fix the world, but what about yourself? Ani DiFranco acuteadditionbusy share on social

Why do you think I write these feminist songs, to try and teach myself to respect myself. You know, it's not because I'm a hero. Ani DiFranco feministherorespect Change image and share on social

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. Ani DiFranco determinationendfeminism Change image and share on social
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.
