More quotes by Kathleen Hanna
In the '90s, people wore scrunchies, but it was very uncool in the punk scene.
Kathleen Hanna
It was one of the first things I did on my own I worked at McDonald's, raised the money and did it. I'm really, really passionate about pro-choice, because I wouldn't be here talking to you right now if I'd had a kid at 15.
Kathleen Hanna
I made the decision that my contribution needed to be more musical than political. My music was enough, politically. Art matters. Art was enough. My music was enough to say what I had to say.
Kathleen Hanna
I watch videos on YouTube of bands that I've heard of that I want to check out. And sometimes I don't even finish the video. And that's really sad, because maybe I'd like that song. I think that we don't give stuff a chance to really sink in.
Kathleen Hanna
I don't think I've ever had a woman yell that at me, but women have yelled mean things at me as well.
Kathleen Hanna
I wanna be a legend I wanna be a cult hero. I do!
Kathleen Hanna
I search the phrase Kellyanne Conway fails, and I'm just watching that Scottie [Nell Hughes] woman smirk all the time.
Kathleen Hanna
Every band I've been in, it's just become my total life. I feel like a child star - I've missed out on so much.
Kathleen Hanna
You learn that the only way to get rock-star power as a girl is to be a groupie and bare your breasts and get chosen for the night. We learn that the only way to get anywhere is through men. And it's a lie.
Kathleen Hanna
I feel so lucky that I met the love of my life. You know somebody's in it to win it when...you're having a seizure and they're holding you.
Kathleen Hanna
I really love that I'm giving myself the opportunity finally to not have the pressure of every single song you do having to be political or whatever. I'm just making what I wanna make.
Kathleen Hanna
People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer.
Kathleen Hanna
It's really cool that Miley Cyrus said she's the biggest feminist ever. I was like, 'That's the sound of 200,000 eight-year-olds Googling the word feminist!
Kathleen Hanna
Well, part of the thing is, like, what's the difference between censorship and social responsibility? I sometimes find that the whole censorship argument is used as a way for people to avoid the fact that they're like.
Kathleen Hanna
I always tell girls who say they want to start a band but don't have any talent, well, neither do I. I mean, I can carry a tune, but anyone who picks up a bass can figure it out. You don't have to have magic unicorn powers. You work at it, and you get better. It's like anything- You sit there and do it every day, and eventually you get good at it.
Kathleen Hanna
There are people who view their feminism in different ways. I used to beat myself up if I didn't react to things like I was supposed to.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm more interested in a feminism that ends discrimination for all people. It's not just about a woman becoming the CEO of a company or something. It's connected to racism and classism and gender issues that go beyond the binary.
Kathleen Hanna
My original goal in the '90s, after I found feminism and I was the first generation in my family to go to college, was to spread this information that feminism was still very much alive, and that you can't believe the media telling you that it doesn't need to exist and that it doesn't exist.
Kathleen Hanna
Sometimes, being a feminist artist, there are times where I'm in a position where I just want to feel like I'm saying all the right things politically, or I feel like I have to mention my own project over other people's projects.
Kathleen Hanna
As I've gotten older, I've realized that things are a lot more permeable. It's not so black and white: not every journalist is a jerk.
