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.

More quotes by Kathleen Hanna
The more people, as you know, are able to be on whatever spectrum of femininity and masculinity they are on at that moment, that opens the door for women to not have to be the opposite of what the supposed traditional male is.
Kathleen Hanna
I've always been like, Look, you're going to die and it's not going to matter after you die that you got out onstage and bombed.
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
I'm in a really lucky position where people will be interested in whatever I do, but what I do is sing.
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 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
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.
Kathleen Hanna
The cool thing about the Internet is that it's allowing women more access to their own history.
Kathleen Hanna
I was in a band in the '90s called Bikini Kill, and we were so freaked out about documentation then, and there was the whole thing, not just about the male gaze, but that people were going to misrepresent you... a kind fear of the mainstream that a lot of us had.
Kathleen Hanna
Sexism and racism and homophobia and classism are so naturalized. All these stereotypes make people think it's just normal that straight white men are getting all the breaks.
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
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
My mom and I had secret from my dad that we didn't think we were stupid, that we didn't think we needed feminism to be explained to us.
Kathleen Hanna
Young girls getting into feminism.
Kathleen Hanna
I think open adoption is a great idea, because it allows a relationship between the birth mother and her child so that the kid isn't like, Where did I come from? And to have it be like, Look, you have a bunch of people who love you.
Kathleen Hanna
There's comedians who I consider extremely punk rock who I've seen do very political stand up in places where nobody wants to hear that. It's uncomfortable and scary and you realize it's the punkest performance you've ever witnessed.
Kathleen Hanna
I almost wish we would've filmed a whole fake tampon commercial around [I'm With Her].
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 think that it's so powerful for me to go see someone like Bridget Everett at Joe's Pub and watch her weave her songs in and out of these funny, tragic stories - you can talk and sing and it's not this horrible offense, you're going to get thrown in artistic jail.
Kathleen Hanna
I think my biggest fear is dying. Although sometimes my biggest fear is not dying. But yeah, I think health stuff for me is more what I'm afraid of.
