All this fashion stuff - who's cool now - is just a bigger version of the cool kids versus the nerds.

More quotes by Beth Ditto
When you get a certain amount of media attention, I think people are like, Where's your other album?
Beth Ditto
Reclaiming the word fat was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth, because the truth is that I am fat, and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat, I agree, whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.

Growing up as a chubby kid with a ton of imaginary friends and a Cyndi Lauper obsession, I learned about rejection early on and was constantly trying to avoid it.
Beth Ditto
When I think about the idea of Rebel Wilson having to go to the Oscars and not having something amazing to wear that's made for her, it drives me mad.
Beth Ditto
It's funny how something so normal and mundane that you see every day-your body-can be controversial. The shock value is intense. It's like carrying an art piece around with you all the time.
Beth Ditto
I have a very good relationship with myself. My favourite quote is, What you think about me is none of my business.
Beth Ditto
I know what I want! And I just go for it.
Beth Ditto
Products are a must - full stop. I'm sorry to say it, but that bob won't look so sleek on its own - you need a little help. It doesn't have to be the high-end stuff that they sell in the salon. Products you find in the supermarket are just as good, and sometimes better.

I'm like cheddar: Yes, other cheeses are more ooh la la, but I'm strong, mature, and oh so delicious.
Beth Ditto
I have no control over what people think of me but I have 100% control of what I think of myself, and that is so important. And not just about your body, but so many ways of confidence. You're constantly learning how to be confident, aren't you?

When I moved out of my mom's house at 18 I was almost as sad to leave her sewing machine behind as anything else.

For years now I have run a kitchen-sink punk salon in my house, called Salon du Gay. In the early days, people would pay for a riot grrrl bob or a passable bleach job with a mixtape, $3 or a selection of baked goods - whichever they could afford. More recently though, with Gossip doing well, I've performed these punk hair transformations for free.
Beth Ditto
There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.
Beth Ditto
I was born to be married. I just feel comfortable there. I love the idea of being partnered for ever. I love my girlfriend, we've been best friends since I was 18. There's not a thing we haven't been through except for marriage... We've had talks about what we would name our kids since we were in our 20s.

True love is about being able to accept raw emotions, no matter how difficult.
Beth Ditto
I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them.
Beth Ditto
I'm passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.

For my group of friends is Lady Gaga eye-opening? No. She's a less dangerous version of what was so cool about pop culture in the 80s. Back then it was so gay and so punk in so many ways.
Beth Ditto
I really worshipped Mama Cass a lot. Mama Cass, who was really fat and she didn't lose weight. Yeah, she went on diets but for the most part of her life and the better part of her career she was a big person.
Beth Ditto
This is how I feel about everything that's out of your control: once you make a record, it's not yours anymore. There's nothing you can do. It's the way I feel about political movements - both of those things grow on their own.
