I hate to do what I'm told, that's why I'm not good at 9-to-5s.

More quotes by Beth Ditto
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.

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 shave my body in all kinds of ways, wear tons of eyeliner and dye my hair pink.
Beth Ditto
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
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.

True love is about being able to accept raw emotions, no matter how difficult.

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.

I knew that if I wanted to stop being a pushover I had to get comfortable with small rejections myself. That took some work, but because of it I can now say no to other people with a clear conscience.
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.

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
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.
Beth Ditto
I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them.
Beth Ditto
I'm not sure that I am able to feel embarrassment.

I'm like cheddar: Yes, other cheeses are more ooh la la, but I'm strong, mature, and oh so delicious.

With a stretch belt, anything can be a dress - a dinner napkin, a tablecloth, even a towel. Just wrap and snap, and away you go in an incredible outfit. Another plus is that the belt will pull all eyes to your lovely curves, and they even look good around a coat or a jacket.

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.

Granny Ditto always referred to perfume as smell good and for me it's an essential. I have a sweetheart who's extremely allergic to most scents, so I have to be extra careful - as well as creative - in the smell department. The key, I've found, are essential oils, which come in all kinds of 100% natural scents.

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
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 don't love the word luxury because it feels Bougy to me.
