Liz Phair Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Liz Phair:

I'm always champing at the bit to try everything new. It's a terrible quality that I have.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

Liz Phair

Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.

Liz Phair

When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it!

Liz Phair

My identity has everything to do with me and my instrument. It doesn't have to do with what production style I use, or how many people played on it, whether it's sparse or grandiose or whatever. And I'm social, frankly.

Liz Phair

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.

Liz Phair

I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.

Liz Phair

I don't know what the future holds. Anything is possible.

Liz Phair

I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

Liz Phair

I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

Liz Phair

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.

Liz Phair

It seems to me like the Internet allows you to break that structure a little bit. You know, here's your CD that's going into stores, here's your EP that you offer online, here's a subscription for songs you recorded on the road, here's your live stuff streaming.

Liz Phair

I love stretching myself musically.

Liz Phair

When I use the Internet, it's pretty much strictly for music. Checking out other people's web sites, what's going on, listening to music. It's pretty much a musical thing for me.

Liz Phair

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

Liz Phair

I am a feminist, and I define myself: Be yourself, because if you can get away with it, that is the ultimate feminist act.

Liz Phair

I knew that collaborating on songwriting would be difficult for a lot of people, because I was known very much, for my independence and the fact that I wrote these quirky songs that were not typical structure, not typical sound - you know, really original stuff.

Liz Phair

I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.

Liz Phair

I don't have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to.

Liz Phair

I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

Liz Phair

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.

Liz Phair

I just don't fit into the box.

Liz Phair

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

Liz Phair

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.

Liz Phair

The big news already broke. The file-sharing and all that stuff, it's a done deal. And I think figuring out how to make that a fair exchange for the people that make music is still an issue.

Liz Phair

Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.

Liz Phair

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.

Liz Phair

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

Liz Phair

You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.

Liz Phair

I think I write songs because of pent-up feelings.

Liz Phair

It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.

Liz Phair

I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.

Liz Phair

I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.

Liz Phair

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.

Liz Phair

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.

Liz Phair

I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

Liz Phair

I prance around and dance by myself to hip-hop songs in the mirror.
