I know I love sexy surf guitars, I know I love loud snare. I love really simple repeating bass lines, and I love weird mad scientist keyboard sounds.
Kathleen Hanna
I'm totally into Taylor Swift. I think she has super-clever lyrics, and I love that she writes her own music. Some of the themes she writes about are stuff I wish was there for me when I was in high school, and I'm so happy she really cares about her female fans. She's not catering to a male audience and is writing music for other girls.

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

I don't appreciate it when women - or men - bandy about these stupid stereotypes about feminism that are age-old, and that are meant to keep people turned off from it. It's like, All you have to do is Wikipedia feminism to know that it's not about man-hating - so shut up. That makes me annoyed.

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 think my biggest fear is dying. Although sometimes my biggest fear is not dying. But yeah, I think health stuff for me is more what I'm afraid of.
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
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.
Kathleen Hanna
It's the idea that we as people can control our own destinies. The government and the corporations, more even than the government, can't dictate what artwork we're supposed to like or what comedy we're supposed to laugh at.
Kathleen Hanna
If people are like, 'Oh, you're an icon,' then whatever. But who thinks of themselves like that? It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall.
Kathleen Hanna
In the '90s, people wore scrunchies, but it was very uncool in the punk scene.
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.

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.

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