All I’m trying to do is to keep going and keep evolving.

In this world, where everything happens so fast, it’s hard to sit back, take the time and contemplate.
Juliana Hatfield
The first kiss between two people is something really good in life.
Juliana Hatfield
I don’t buy a lot when I travel, but when I do, I like to send gifts from wherever I am. It’s fun to find the local post office.
Juliana Hatfield
Although I’m a huge fan of Ben Kweller, I don’t think I’d cover one of his songs, simply because there’s just so much of my own stuff I wanna do.

Puerto Rico has a stray dog problem. Tens of thousands of homeless canines – hundreds of thousands, by some estimates – live and die on the streets and beaches all over this Caribbean island of almost four million people.
Juliana Hatfield
Baseball is more than a game. It’s like life played out on a field.
Juliana Hatfield
Human relations, I mess them up, and they let me down.
Juliana Hatfield
Puerto Ricans who find they can no longer afford to keep their pets often choose to drop their dogs, sometimes even whole litters of puppies, at a beach – sometimes under cover of night, in secret – rather than surrender the animal to a city or state-run shelter where the animals will face grim conditions and almost certain death by euthanasia.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

I’m totally committed to the cause of individuality. That’s the only thing I stand by: independence.
Juliana Hatfield
My dad claims that he was able to trace us back to the West Virginia Hatfields. When I look at the old pictures, the patriarchs have kind of a physical likeness to some of the men on the father’s side of my family. I want it to be true.
Juliana Hatfield
I’ve finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.
Juliana Hatfield
I don’t really care about money. I find money boring and accounting boring, so I’m probably not going to ever make a lot of money.
Juliana Hatfield
To me, success was not having to have a boss and not having a day job. I’ve been living my own version of success since the early ’90s when I first got signed. I haven’t had a job since then.
Juliana Hatfield
What happens when your dream comes true – when the spotlight is on and then it moves away?
Juliana Hatfield
I don’t have anything to prove anymore. I don’t have a record deal, no one has any expectations, I’m in a position of freedom. I don’t need anyone’s approval.
Juliana Hatfield
I never really expected to win the hearts of the masses.
Juliana Hatfield
I’ve always been a loner, and I’ve spent most of my life as a single person.
Juliana Hatfield
A heart that hurts is a heart that works.
Juliana Hatfield
Songwriting is like editing. You write down all this stuff – all this bad, stupid stuff – and then you have to get rid of everything except the very best.
Juliana Hatfield
At heart I am a librarian, a bird-watcher, a transcendentalist, a gardener, a spinster, a monk.
Juliana Hatfield
As long as there are religions, there are going to be people who are hiding their rottenness behind the veil of religion.
Juliana Hatfield
David Ortiz is a genius. He’s incredible to watch. Over and over, he hits home runs that are simply transcendent.
Juliana Hatfield
I find myself a fascinating subject.
Juliana Hatfield
I like visiting LA, but I wouldn’t want to live there.
Juliana Hatfield
I tend to fall for the archetypal, talented, charismatic rock boy.
Juliana Hatfield
I’d just like to inspire people to be themselves and do what they want and not conform to the rigid guidelines of the music or entertainment business.
Juliana Hatfield
I’m a neo-Luddite.
Juliana Hatfield
I’m full of contradictions.
Juliana Hatfield
I’m not a very good advice-giver.
Juliana Hatfield
If you want to achieve things in life, you’ve just got to do them, and if you’re talented and smart, you’ll succeed.
Juliana Hatfield
Just do what feels right.
Juliana Hatfield
My first guitar was a Gibson Challenger.
Juliana Hatfield
My knees are ticklish.
Juliana Hatfield
My soul is fine, thanks.
Juliana Hatfield
Once I picked up an electric guitar, I lost interest in piano, and I just wanted to rock. I studied piano for so long, I got burned out on it.
Juliana Hatfield
People make such a big deal about how people in bands look, especially if you’re a girl.
Juliana Hatfield
People need meanings to everything. People want you to intellectualize every choice you make.
Juliana Hatfield
Some of the songs are so crazy, the words are so crazy… it’s hard to believe I was so crazy.
Juliana Hatfield
The most rabidly religious people are the most rabidly evil.
Juliana Hatfield
The way I see it, all the popular singers are strippers.
Juliana Hatfield
To make big steps, you’ve got to take action yourself and not listen to other people.
Juliana Hatfield
When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn’t suit my temperament at all. I’m a terrible public person.
Juliana Hatfield
You can learn so much just by doing, not by listening to anybody.
Juliana Hatfield
I still have all the faith and love for my music and yet I’m still playing places for kids.
Juliana Hatfield
My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn’t enjoying myself any more.
Juliana Hatfield
I never felt happy with the idea that part of what I do is to be an object to be looked at. I thought of my public persona as an entity separate to myself.
Juliana Hatfield
My dad was depressed a lot of the time, and there were a lot of things in his life that he never resolved.
Juliana Hatfield
I still have a lot of those depressive thoughts, but now I have the foresight to tell myself, ‘Don’t think like that,’ and things seem better.
Juliana Hatfield
Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.
Juliana Hatfield
I’m a damaged person, but I have hope and a will to not give up.
