Quote

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.

In the '90s, people wore scrunchies, but it was very uncool in the punk scene.

I almost wish we would've filmed a whole fake tampon commercial around [I'm With Her].

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.

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.

When you speak up about any sense of unfairness or injustice, you're told that you're overreacting, you're too angry, too silly-shut up already. It takes a tremendous amount of fortitude to be able to live in this world as a woman, let alone a woman who wants things to change.

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'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.

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.

Image
I'm so language-based and I'm so about communicating, and my art has always been very audience-based, and very about being functional and communicating something, and about feeling like I have to be heard.

I'm not that interested in female superheroes.

I do sometimes think what outfit will make me happy. It's one of those self-care things. If I don't have time to do yoga in the morning, then I have a certain sweater/shirt combination that makes me feel put together.

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.

Just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art.

I search the phrase Kellyanne Conway fails, and I'm just watching that Scottie [Nell Hughes] woman smirk all the time.

I think as a culture, we don't like conflict or looking at icky stuff - especially in our downtime.

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.
