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
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'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
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.
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
Not everyone wants to be sexy everyday, wearing tight dresses and spanx.
Beth Ditto
I hate to do what I'm told, that's why I'm not good at 9-to-5s.
Beth Ditto
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
Instagram is a Roman arena of insults. Everyone is a lion, but it is fun.
Beth Ditto
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.
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
Sometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that's what you're feeling?
Beth Ditto
Why wear pants when you can wear a muumuu?
Beth Ditto
You know how people love to glamorize poverty? There's nothing glamorous about it. But it did make me really creative. Those days, I was literally taking t-shirts in the day and sewing them back together to make dresses for the night.
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
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'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
Portland is a place where you can find a community as a feminist, a vegan or a fat activist. Artists, musicians, knitters, and filmmakers can all meet like-minded souls. It's proved the perfect place for me and all my punk friends.
Beth Ditto
I love Vivienne Westwood. Her work is so interesting, you can always find something that's great and fits you.
Beth Ditto
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.
