You're always going to feel like you're catching up, and part of that is just balancing work and motherhood and the whole feeling of needing to please, which I do think girls and women feel more than men.

More quotes by 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.

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
I really want to start playing basketball. Basketball and ping-pong are my two forms of exercise.

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
Twitter reminds me of an era in French literature - Emile Zola and Honoré de Balzac - and the beginning of modernity and gossip. They had these fashion magazines of the time on display with all of the Emile Zola references.
Kim Gordon
Rap music is really good when you're traumatized.
Kim Gordon
For me performing has a lot to do with being fearless.
Kim Gordon
Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.
Kim Gordon
I tend to want to listen to melancholy music, but sometimes if you're feeling too sad, you can't.
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
If you don't fit into a certain type, there's a lot of strength in just being who you are.
Kim Gordon
Fashion, at modern time, was actually a way for women to go out in the world. There was one painting of a woman sitting at a café, drinking a beer by herself and kind of pretending to read but really watching people, that sort of thing. It fascinated me.
Kim Gordon
People pay to see others believe in themselves.
Kim Gordon
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.
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
Women are natural anarchists...
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.
Kim Gordon
Culturally we don't allow women to be as free as they would like, because that is frightening. We either shun those women or deem them crazy… But being that woman who pushes the boundaries means you also bring in less desirable aspects of yourself. At the end of the day, women are expected to hold up the world, not annihilate it.
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
I just think that playing bass, like punk rock bass with a pick, wasn't meant to be done for 25 years.
