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

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.

Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities.

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

Lana Del Rey seems to be bothering everybody because she allegedly 'remade' herself from a folk singing, girl-next-door type into an electro-urban kitty cat on the prowl (of course I like her), and they feel she is inauthentic.

Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done.
Liz Phair -
Young kids don't have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I'm mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I'm bringing. It's very clear and defined.

Everyone wants to get into soundtracks. Everyone wants to do songs here and there. But, I think they want it for different reasons. I think I'm just tumbling through my life, enjoying playing with everybody.

There's nothing wrong at all with women wanting to be women.

I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.
Liz Phair -
I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.
Liz Phair -
I am just like you and everyone else. I am trying to live my life as best I can.

You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.
Liz Phair -
When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it!

I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad.
Liz Phair -
Wearing a veneer of perfection never did me any good.
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 -
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 -
I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!
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.

I'm known for being annoyingly gender-focused. It's always been my platform.
Liz Phair -
You know, you become an artist, you become an observer, of life, and you digest life by making art about it.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.
Liz Phair -
I was raised to be a very intelligent housewife.
