I always was really confident about myself, about my voice, myself as a person, my body, all of those things, but as a songwriter - I just didn't identify as a songwriter at all.

More quotes by Beth Ditto
I shave my body in all kinds of ways, wear tons of eyeliner and dye my hair pink.
Beth Ditto
I want to make the IKEA of clothes for fat girls and boys. Cheap, affordable, basic - but ethically made. Basics, you know? Like Spanx - I'm still confused as to why retailers haven't ripped them off yet and done it well. It's because they don't understand the basics behind it. I love Spanx. I'm wearing 'em right now!

There is something to be said for people who have to work hard, be creative, produce what they have with little - or no - means. Those of us from poor homes have the advantage of thinking for ourselves and of knowing that when times get hard, things could always be worse.
Beth Ditto
Someone told me once that Lucinda Williams takes six years between albums, and that's what stuck to me it's like, you really are a factory. You don't do things to make them, on your own time.
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.

I hate to do what I'm told, that's why I'm not good at 9-to-5s.
Beth Ditto
The fit is my main focus, I want the fit to be great and that's the focal point for me.
Beth Ditto
I know what I want! And I just go for it.

I'm constantly thinking about what I'll do next. I never count on music being a career of longevity. I mean, longevity is key, and I hope that it lasts, but you just don't know, because it's not in your hands, you don't make the decision.
Beth Ditto
I have learned so much making first collection that I am excited to use all of it towards making the next one even better! It's been an amazing learning curve and experience.
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.
Beth Ditto
Do I ever think Gossip will be really massive in America? No, I don't think it'll happen - and that's fine. It's kind of nice because I get to experience everything at once. I get to come home and it not be weird, like in Paris or something. It is nice to be completely anonymous.

I feel dance and pop music genres are extremely female and extremely gay. When it comes to art and pop culture, queers are f - king weirdos. We don't have gender rules that tell us what we can and can't be. We just make it up as we go along. We have full creative license to be whatever we want to be.

Sometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that's what you're feeling?

Life is not about creating an unreal existence. People should be challenged to find something cool about the mundane.
Beth Ditto
My dad liked to boil a squirrel head and suck the brains out the nose. Smaller than a chicken, bigger than a rat.
Beth Ditto
I was born fat and have always been, which was just fine and even healthy and cute until I turned ten or so. Puberty hit like a hurricane and brought a new set of rules. All of a sudden it was my fault I was chubby.
Beth Ditto
I'm not sure that I am able to feel embarrassment.
Beth Ditto
I'm shameless, and I love a pun. There's a lot of Beth puns.
