You have these Stepford wives who are negating other women. But that's their job. [Donald] Trump is the one who is to blame, no matter how much I enjoy watching his surrogates fail massively.

Taking care of yourself is the most important thing.

In 1985, I was living with my sister in Virginia, and since I was still in high school, I worked at McDonald's to save money to get an abortion. It sounds really terrible, but it was the best decision I ever made. It was the first time I took responsibility for my actions. I messed up, had sex without contraception, and got pregnant 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
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
I think as a culture, we don't like conflict or looking at icky stuff - especially in our downtime.
Kathleen Hanna
Don't get down on yourself that you can't run a 4K or dance all night long at a fun club. Give yourself a break.
Kathleen Hanna
I felt it was really, really important, not just in the vein of feminist erasure or whatever but also just as an artist that I honored my work.
Kathleen Hanna
I realized that I really enjoy writing comedy, and how important comedy is when you feel like total crap.
Kathleen Hanna
It's so crazy because kids that wrote to me when they were 14 years old are still in my life. A lot have gone on to become musicians and artists in their own right who inspire me now.
Kathleen Hanna
I almost wish we would've filmed a whole fake tampon commercial around [I'm With Her].
Kathleen Hanna
A lot of artists are just really stupid about money, and it's really hard to find somebody who kind of thinks of shuffling money around and doing business as an art.
Kathleen Hanna
I've always talked a lot on stage - I really wanted to communicate my ideas and when you're playing at a lot of shitty punk clubs they don't have good PAs and so no one knows what you're singing about.
