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.

More quotes by Kathleen Hanna
The exciting thing about getting a label together and doing press for it is that hopefully some 15-year-old girl who is the only feminist in her junior-high class will hear about it and be like, Oh, cool, I hadn't heard of that, I'm going to check it out.
Kathleen Hanna
Just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art.
Kathleen Hanna
I realized that I really enjoy writing comedy, and how important comedy is when you feel like total crap.
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 almost wish we would've filmed a whole fake tampon commercial around [I'm With Her].
Kathleen Hanna
If you really hate me, you should at least have the courtesy to take out a piece of paper and write it down and mail it to me. If you're a worthy nemesis, I want to see your handwriting. I want to see your name and your address, and if you don't have the guts to give me those, then you're not a worthy nemesis.
Kathleen Hanna
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
We support Hillary [Clinton]. We're saying that strongly. I'm with her, I don't think that we can be any less strident. She's the best person for the job.
Kathleen Hanna
I really like to talk about my work in a way that is complicated.
Kathleen Hanna
If I had to choose between the band or the friendships, I'd choose the friendships at this point.
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
I was never trying to be the voice for anybody else. I was just trying to sing about what I was going through, and was singing about those things specifically because I knew there was an audience not being served.
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 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 think that feminism is in cycle. Feminism rotates between backlash and interest.
Kathleen Hanna
I don't consider myself a divining rod whom God is speaking through or any kind of crap like that.
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
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
The cool thing about the Internet is that it's allowing women more access to their own history.
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.
