More quotes by Beth Ditto
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
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 don't love the word luxury because it feels Bougy to me.
Beth Ditto
I love Vivienne Westwood. Her work is so interesting, you can always find something that's great and fits you.
Beth Ditto
I find inspiration everywhere. I love challenges and my favorite thing is to find something ridiculous and be like if it's all that I have available to me, I am gonna make it look the best that I can.
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
When I moved out of my mom's house at 18 I was almost as sad to leave her sewing machine behind as anything else.
Beth Ditto
I really worshipped Mama Cass a lot. Mama Cass, who was really fat and she didn't lose weight. Yeah, she went on diets but for the most part of her life and the better part of her career she was a big person.
Beth Ditto
I support love any healthy way you can get it.
Beth Ditto
There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.
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
All this fashion stuff - who's cool now - is just a bigger version of the cool kids versus the nerds.
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
My life hasn't been conventional and it hasn't been linear. I've had to make it up as I've gone along, which has taught me a lot. If you don't accept the obvious options that are laid out for you, it's up to you to work out where you're going and to create your own specific rules and goals.
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 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
I love to make people feel like they are taking a part in their own body and evolution.
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
I always was really confident about myself, about my voice, myself as a person, my body, all of those things, but as a songwriter - I just didn't identify as a songwriter at all.
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?
