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.

What I've heard from younger women and women my age is that the albums changed their lives or it was the first time they had heard feminism that they could relate to. So that's great.

I don't want to waste the precious moments I have, and I've felt that way since I was 17. I have to take risks because why else would you be alive? Put your pirate patch on and go on an adventure because you only have one life to live.

I don't think I've ever had a woman yell that at me, but women have yelled mean things at me as well.

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.

I didn't go to high school, I didn't go to college, I didn't have women's studies. All of my feminist ideals and education have been built around art and my friends and community. And so it's still growing.

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.

I'm not going to sit around and be peace and love with somebody's boot on my neck.

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

Image
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.

I need to see my friends or I'm gonna go crazy. I'm not gonna stay home and work.

The idea that musicians/artists have a responsibility to be community leaders or role models is problematic to me because I really believe that some of the most exciting art is not community-minded at least in any obvious or direct way, which is not to say that it is not ethical or consciousness-changing.

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 know what a good question would be for an actor. What's your least favorite thing that you've ever heard an actor say about acting? Or about being in a movie?

If I had to choose between the band or the friendships, I'd choose the friendships at this point.
Kathleen Hanna
Image
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.

Image
I don't need to convince men that feminism is important, that just isn't a goal of mine. I can't even have that conversation of whether or not it's important, because if someone asks me that... I don't want to have a conversation with them until they grow up.

I'm living in a world where there are LGBTQ straight alliances at high schools. I feel pretty psyched on that.

Image
I really like to talk about my work in a way that is complicated.

Image
I really love that I'm giving myself the opportunity finally to not have the pressure of every single song you do having to be political or whatever. I'm just making what I wanna make.

I know that's really horrible, but that's how I do it in my head. I'm going to die. It doesn't matter. I don't matter. I'm a grain of sand. As a grain of sand, I may as well go out and relate to people and enjoy my short time on this planet that I have. Who knows what's coming next?
