Maria Doyle Kennedy Quotes

• Things are going further away from that certainly. I think its more like a confidence gene that’s more difficult if you’re a girl. Its like if you’re doing something really simple like a sound-check, and you’re having problems, if you’re not happy with your sound you cross the line much more quickly than a guy would into being awkward as opposed to being an artist or a perfectionist. Women are often expected to be more amiable or more pleasing or more submissive than men generally. I think one theme in a lot of the songs is that they’re about self: Happiness by Lisa Germano, Joyful Girl by Ani DiFranco, she’s really explaining why she does it or what music does for her, a statement of self-strength or independence. But you can do it yourself. You can really make your own music.
