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.

More quotes by Kathleen Hanna
When you're the person who's kind of in charge of everything a lot of the time, it's sometimes nice to get bossed around. It's sometimes nice to have somebody say, This is what I want you to do and to stretch your abilities.

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

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.
Kathleen Hanna
It was one of the first things I did on my own I worked at McDonald's, raised the money and did it. I'm really, really passionate about pro-choice, because I wouldn't be here talking to you right now if I'd had a kid at 15.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm living in a world where there are LGBTQ straight alliances at high schools. I feel pretty psyched on that.

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
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 wanna be a legend I wanna be a cult hero. I do!
Kathleen Hanna
One of the reasons I went back to music even though I was extremely ill was because I started to forget who I was aside from being sick. And when I'm performing, or even lecturing, it's like I'm myself again, and that was a really amazing discovery - that, all of a sudden, I have a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Kathleen Hanna
I always tell girls who say they want to start a band but don't have any talent, well, neither do I. I mean, I can carry a tune, but anyone who picks up a bass can figure it out. You don't have to have magic unicorn powers. You work at it, and you get better. It's like anything- You sit there and do it every day, and eventually you get good at it.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm a very binary person in a bad way where it's like everything is either totally great or totally awful.
Kathleen Hanna
My mom wasn't, like, she was reading all these historical romance novels the majority of the time. She read a feminist book and then my dad would sit down and explain it to her like she was an idiot.
Kathleen Hanna
No one's female and male, we all have so many different traits. It's just a lie that these certain traits are male and these certain traits are female.
Kathleen Hanna
As I've gotten older, I've realized that things are a lot more permeable. It's not so black and white: not every journalist is a jerk.
Kathleen Hanna
I watch videos on YouTube of bands that I've heard of that I want to check out. And sometimes I don't even finish the video. And that's really sad, because maybe I'd like that song. I think that we don't give stuff a chance to really sink in.
Kathleen Hanna
I realized that I really enjoy writing comedy, and how important comedy is when you feel like total crap.
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.
