        “Should” is the American way of putting ourselves down in the name of the need to impress other people.

        It’s much more important for you to figure out what’s right for you than for you to act out a rendition of what someone else thinks you should be… They can’t know what’s best for you. Be honest with yourself and have the strength to disappoint your fans.”

                Well, OK – Penelope Trunk whose blog post titled “Career adjustments: Tips from Liz Phair” is partially quoted below. I don’t know who Penelope Trunk is either. 🙂

                2. Be true to yourself
                Liz is not, in fact, an indie queen, but rather, an accidental tourist on the indie road. Even on her indie CDs she sings about wanting to be rich and famous. So she had to ditch the indie crowd and become her rendition of girl-pop-star because that’s really what she’s about.

                It’s much more important for you to figure out what’s right for you than for you to act out a rendition of what someone else thinks you should be — your mom, your friends, your mentors. They can’t know what’s best for you. Be honest with yourself and have the strength to disappoint your fans.

                  Very easy – “Consistency is the last resort of the unimaginative.”

                    Okay – excellent research! Another point (make it 3 just for fun) for etruscan! :bigsmile:

                    Somebody else quote something or someone – my brain is tired – spent the day re-upholstering my old rockin’ chair :p

                    Oscar Wilde

                    “Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system.”

                        Cicero?

                        Google says it is. Going from the sublime to the cynical … what about this (slightly edited) – “I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound; if I can remember any of the d**n things.”

                        I can totally relate to that!

                        “Like the winds that we come we know not whence and blow whither soever they list, the forces of society are derived from an obscure and distant origin. They arise before the date of philosophy, from the instincts, not the speculations of men.”
