Just like my straight friends, I am repeatedly asked when I plan to have kids, and have been told many times, by various branches of my bloodline, that even lesbians can have babies these days.

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
Not everyone wants to be sexy everyday, wearing tight dresses and spanx.
Beth Ditto
Life is not about creating an unreal existence. People should be challenged to find something cool about the mundane.

When I was a teenager I would lock myself in the bathroom for hours, bouffanting my hair like Patty Duke and trying to recreate Barbra Streisand's flawless eyeliner, only to comb it all out and wash it all off before stepping out into the world a butchish bisexual teen.

We have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.

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.

The black bubble dress is a must! The leggings are absolutely amazing too, they fit perfectly and let you breath when still being super high-waisted. They are everything and so easy to pair anything with.

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 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?

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.

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

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 can take care of a house, and some people I meet, I think, 'You don't even know how to make a bed.
Beth Ditto
Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music - well, still not knowing how to play music.

Why wear pants when you can wear a muumuu?

I love Vivienne Westwood. Her work is so interesting, you can always find something that's great and fits you.

I'm shameless, and I love a pun. There's a lot of Beth puns.
