Squint your eyes and look closer. I`m not between you and your ambitions. I am a poster girl with no poster. I am thirty-two flavors and then some. And I`m beyond your peripheral vision, so you might want to turn your head. `Cuz some day you are gonna get hungry, and eat all of the words you just said.

Your bones have been my bedframe and your flesh has been my pillow. And I`m waiting for sleep.

i smoke and i drink

I can`t wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no one ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me.

God help you if you are an ugly girl, `course too pretty is also your doom, `cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.

Life is a B Movie: it`s stupid and it`s strange, it`s a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the `he said she said` sometimes there`s some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.

Coolest f-word ever deserves a fucking shout! I mean, why can`t all decent men and women call themselves feminists? Out of respect for those who fought for this. I mean, look around, we have this.

Some people wear their smile like a disguise. Those people who smile a lot, watch their eyes. I know `cause I`m like that a lot. You think everything`s ok, and it is . . . `till it`s not.

Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

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.

Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don`t have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there`s poetry written right on the bathroom wall.

They taught me different was wrong.

My songs are just little letters to me.

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.

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.

It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there`s me.

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

Taken out of context I must seem so strange.

We have to be able to criticise what we love, to say what we have to say `cause if your not trying to make something better, than as far as I can tell, you are just in the way.

Art may imitate life, but life imitates TV.

Men make angry music and it`s called rock-and-roll; women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they`re angry and militant.

Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there`s nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends.

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.

Someone`s got to be interested in how I feel, just because I`m here and I`m real.

I`d rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.

I don`t care if they eat me alive, I`ve got better things to do then survive.

If I`m gonna go down I`m gonna do it with style. You won`t hear me surrender, you won`t hear me confess cause you`ve left me with nothing but I have worked with less.

We have a complete void of progressive politics in this country right now. The will of the people goes ignored and unrealized. I`m searching for the people that can enter the political system, a strong third party. We need to consolidate.

Taking me seriously is a big mistake. I certainly wouldn`t.

God forbid you be an ugly girl, `course too pretty is also your doom, `cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.

If you like it, let it be, and if you don`t please do the same.

Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don`t think its fair that I`m living for something I can`t even define.

There isn`t much I have to say, that I wouldn`t rather just shut up and do.

I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.

Love is a piano dropped from a fourth story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In order to keep anything cultural, logical, or ideological, you have to reinvent the reality of it.

Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.

Art is why I get up in the morning; my definition ends there. You know it doesn`t seem fair, that I`m living for something I can`t even define. And there you are right there, in the mean time.

Maybe you don`t like your job, maybe you didn`t get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there`s no escape, there`s no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.

People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.
