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.

More quotes by Kathleen Hanna
I don't consider myself a divining rod whom God is speaking through or any kind of crap like that.
Kathleen Hanna
I just write what I want to write.
Kathleen Hanna
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.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm sure if you see things you wrote when you were 19, you cringe. I saw stuff like angry poetry that I wrote when I was mad at my father, or photos I took where I smeared period blood on myself. It's embarrassing.

Jason Mraz, and the new James Blunt song is the worst thing that has ever been created on the face of the earth.

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.

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 don't think I've ever had a woman yell that at me, but women have yelled mean things at me as well.

I know what a good question would be for an actor. What's your least favorite thing that you've ever heard an actor say about acting? Or about being in a movie?
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
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
Taking care of yourself is the most important thing.
Kathleen Hanna
Feminism is something you do. It's a verb. It's what you are. It's an activity it's something you're actively engaged in.
Kathleen Hanna
While sexism hurts women most intimately, it also damages men severely.
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
Later as things progressed and I saw the direct correlation between being able to keep making records and having people know about the music, I became more interested in using popular media as a way to get the word out.
Kathleen Hanna
I wanted to say to myself as much as anyone else that we made art.
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
I really like to talk about my work in a way that is complicated.
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.
