The top 10 most inspiring quotes by 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • I mean, I think about it, but I don’t design my record to get a certain public response.
  • I just don’t fit into the box.
  • I don’t know why it surprises people that I surprise them.
  • I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.
  • Women artists need to break barriers in order for women’s experience to be valuable.
  • You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.
  • I’m really happy to be a mom, and I’m proud of the phase I’m in.
