More quotes by 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
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 think that the Internet is really cool because a lot of young feminists don't feel like they have to reinvent the wheel.
Kathleen Hanna
Sometimes, being a feminist artist, there are times where I'm in a position where I just want to feel like I'm saying all the right things politically, or I feel like I have to mention my own project over other people's projects.
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
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 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
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
Part of being in a band, being a painter, or starting a nonprofit is that you're going to make horrible mistakes and look like a total idiot, but you're never going to create that thing that really connects with people if you don't fail over and over and over again.
Kathleen Hanna
I realized that I really enjoy writing comedy, and how important comedy is when you feel like total crap.
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.
Kathleen Hanna
I search the phrase Kellyanne Conway fails, and I'm just watching that Scottie [Nell Hughes] woman smirk all the time.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm not a goddess, for crying out loud. I'm a regular person who took feminism - which I have a deep connection to - and mixed it with music, which I really love to do.
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
Whatever your personality was before, an illness makes it that plus a thousand. I'm a very binary person in a bad way where it's like everything is either totally great or totally awful. I don't understand grey area that well, and I've been working at that.
Kathleen Hanna
I almost wish we would've filmed a whole fake tampon commercial around [I'm With Her].
Kathleen Hanna
I just write what I want to write.
Kathleen Hanna
The cool thing about the Internet is that it's allowing women more access to their own history.
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
Well, part of the thing is, like, what's the difference between censorship and social responsibility? I sometimes find that the whole censorship argument is used as a way for people to avoid the fact that they're like.
