That's exactly what's exciting for me - the idea of infiltrating the male structure and affecting change from within.

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.

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

I don't like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn't have. I don't represent anything.

I'd like to do a tour with a bunch of people where it's just them and their guitars. It would be like Lilith Fair - only everyone plays alone, and it would be competitive.

So how does Liz Phair feel about Lana Del Rey? Well, as a recording artist, I've been hated, I've been ridiculed, and conversely, hailed as the second coming. All that matters in the end is that I've been heard.

The license said you had to stick around until I was dead, but if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am.
