More quotes by Kathleen Hanna
Young girls getting into feminism.
Kathleen Hanna
I almost wish we would've filmed a whole fake tampon commercial around [I'm With Her].
Kathleen Hanna
If I had to choose between the band or the friendships, I'd choose the friendships at this point.
Kathleen Hanna
I was making stickers for guys' bands. I was in the front row photographing bands, booking bands, doing all of the kind of backstage stuff, and I didn't even think for a second I could do it, and then I saw Babes in Toyland, and all that changed.
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
Jason Mraz, and the new James Blunt song is the worst thing that has ever been created on the face of the earth.
Kathleen Hanna
If people are like, 'Oh, you're an icon,' then whatever. But who thinks of themselves like that? It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall.
Kathleen Hanna
I have no clue. I just know I would want to play the least amount of shows that the most people would be able to come to.
Kathleen Hanna
I do sometimes think what outfit will make me happy. It's one of those self-care things. If I don't have time to do yoga in the morning, then I have a certain sweater/shirt combination that makes me feel put together.
Kathleen Hanna
If I were a supervillain, I would end capitalism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia... but I guess that's a little too obvious and not villain-y enough. Because that's actually being a superhero. I would break down poverty with my machete I would end world hunger.
Kathleen Hanna
I felt like going out on the road and mixing it with music - which is something young people are always really interested in - would be a good way to proselytize. It was like feminist evangelism.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm a very binary person in a bad way where it's like everything is either totally great or totally awful.
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'm not going to sit around and be peace and love with somebody's boot on my neck.
Kathleen Hanna
What I've heard from younger women and women my age is that the albums changed their lives or it was the first time they had heard feminism that they could relate to. So that's great.
Kathleen Hanna
I didn't go to high school, I didn't go to college, I didn't have women's studies. All of my feminist ideals and education have been built around art and my friends and community. And so it's still growing.
Kathleen Hanna
I think as a culture, we don't like conflict or looking at icky stuff - especially in our downtime.
Kathleen Hanna
The idea that musicians/artists have a responsibility to be community leaders or role models is problematic to me because I really believe that some of the most exciting art is not community-minded at least in any obvious or direct way, which is not to say that it is not ethical or consciousness-changing.
Kathleen Hanna
It's unexpected for women's issues to be brought up in places other than women's centers on college campuses or crisis places.
Kathleen Hanna
Just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art.
