More quotes by Beth Ditto
I'm a feminist, of course, and I feel as if I'm very politically correct, although I do question what's PC and what's not - I don't just accept what I'm told.
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.
Beth Ditto
I'm a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.
Beth Ditto
Why wear pants when you can wear a muumuu?
Beth Ditto
I worshipped Ethel Merman and I worshipped Ethel Merman a lot. It's incredible - Ethel Merman was a conventional singer. Her naming her child Ethel Merman, Jr., was, to me, one of the coolest feminist things.
Beth Ditto
Because I didn't have any queer, lesbian, female role models I hated my own femininity and had to look deep within myself to create an identity that worked for me. Pop culture just doesn't hand us enough variety to choose from.
Beth Ditto
For me the greatest revenge of all is having a happy adulthood, waking up in my gorgeous turquoise bedroom in the morning beside a person who really inspires me. That's the best revenge a girl-loving-girl from the Bible belt could possibly have. And, importantly, it's healthy.
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
We have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.

My size has helped make me an amazing performer too. The cliche of the Funny Fat Friend: I absolutely was that character - I am that character... It's a complicated bag of tools I acquired, and I've put them all to work onstage.
Beth Ditto
I shave my body in all kinds of ways, wear tons of eyeliner and dye my hair pink.
Beth Ditto
I'm like cheddar: Yes, other cheeses are more ooh la la, but I'm strong, mature, and oh so delicious.
Beth Ditto
I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them.
Beth Ditto
Instagram is a Roman arena of insults. Everyone is a lion, but it is fun.
Beth Ditto
Sometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that's what you're feeling?
Beth Ditto
We all seek approval, and our mother's seal is usually the most important. The nitty gritty is that we have to accept ourselves, even if it is just to be ready for the next cut-down. Mom's blessing or not.
Beth Ditto
I was always being told off at school. The teachers would say: 'Everyone's talking, but you're the one I can hear.
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.
Beth Ditto
The fit is my main focus, I want the fit to be great and that's the focal point for me.
