More quotes by Beth Ditto
I'm passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.
Beth Ditto
I hate to do what I'm told, that's why I'm not good at 9-to-5s.
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
Life is not about creating an unreal existence. People should be challenged to find something cool about the mundane.
Beth Ditto
I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them.

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.
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.

A few years back, when my style was punk grandma, I picked up an amazing pair of sandals - orthopaedic ones, with really thick soles. I've given them away to a friend now, because these days my look is more 1980s substitute teacher gone wild.

I always think that people think that women in music are always angry. I'm not angry. Rock 'n' roll music made by men is so much more over-the-top aggressive than when a women says you and they're screaming it, it's like, 'Oh my God!' I'm like, 'Have you heard rock music made by men?'
Beth Ditto
I love to make people feel like they are taking a part in their own body and evolution.

Instagram is a Roman arena of insults. Everyone is a lion, but it is fun.

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
All this fashion stuff - who's cool now - is just a bigger version of the cool kids versus the nerds.
Beth Ditto
I'm shameless, and I love a pun. There's a lot of Beth puns.

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.

We were a small group of weirdos and baby punks and gays and free spirits who had to use our imaginations a lot. We only saw pictures and read zines, so we could only interpret the aesthetic and message of punk scenes around the world. We were basically the duck-billed platypuses of punk.

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.

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.

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