More quotes by Kim Gordon
I'm aware of how pop culture really infiltrates your expectations in a way that even if you think you're savvy about pop culture, it's so hard not to have these expectations of what a relationship should be. So I constantly feel like I have to bat those expectations down.
Kim Gordon
Someone once wrote that in between the lives we lead and the lives we fantasize about living is the place in our heads where most of us actually live.
Kim Gordon
I think of myself as unconventional. I maybe always had a problem with authority, like a stubbornness about what's expected - despite wanting to get some recognition through performing - but also not always wanting to do the expected thing.
Kim Gordon
I really want to start playing basketball. Basketball and ping-pong are my two forms of exercise.
Kim Gordon
People pay to see others believe in themselves.

No one ever questions the disorder behind her tarantula LA glamour – sociopathy, narcissism – because it’s good rock and roll, good entertainment! I have a low tolerance for manipulative, egomaniacal behaviour, and usually have to remind myself that the person might be mentally ill.

I mean, I don't even think of myself as a musician, really.
Kim Gordon
The love for a child is more an unconditional sort of love ... Although some parents are really narcissistic. In general, I think there is an expectation that love will be unconditional, but obviously it's not - even after living with someone for years.

Many designers are gay men making clothes for women. Sometimes I think fashion is more of a conversation between men than it is for women.
Kim Gordon
For me performing has a lot to do with being fearless.
Kim Gordon
I always felt like an outsider to the music world in a certain way. There was so much less of an art culture in L.A. - and particularly in the South Bay.
Kim Gordon
Well, it was kind of accidental that Jim started playing with us, although it wasn't sudden... we hadn't really looked around to think who could be a fifth member.
Kim Gordon
My parents lived by Rancho Park. And my mom, later in life, got into playing golf. She and her male cronies would get up at five in the morning and sneak onto the back nine. I kind of just started getting into it. For a long time I was really puzzled by why people liked it.
Kim Gordon
Women make natural anarchists and revolutionaries, because they've always been second-class citizens, kinda having had to claw their way up.
Kim Gordon
If you don't fit into a certain type, there's a lot of strength in just being who you are.
Kim Gordon
Everyone's so interior now, they're not really looking around them. They're on their phones.
Kim Gordon
In The Argonauts, Maggie Nelson turns 'making the personal public' into a romantic, intellectual wet dream. A gorgeous book, inventive, fearless, and full of heart.
Kim Gordon
Women are natural anarchists...
Kim Gordon
Clothes are signifiers and symbols of how people communicate with each other.
Kim Gordon
I see it as more of a teenage activity than, you know, she's only 11, but you know, I think it's great that she knows so many girls who want to play music. And I see it more as a teen activity than I do as going into music.
