More quotes by Kim Gordon
Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.
Kim Gordon
Anyone becomes mannered if you think too much about what other people think
Kim Gordon
You can't be a strong or cool woman and be represented except in a harsh way, looking mean and cold and hard. It's like reverse sexism.
Kim Gordon
I just think that playing bass, like punk rock bass with a pick, wasn't meant to be done for 25 years.

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
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
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.

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
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 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
Clothes are signifiers and symbols of how people communicate with each other.
Kim Gordon
There's only so many small shows you can do. A lot of the smaller things are more side project things. Not everything is appropriate for Sonic Youth to do.
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
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
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.
Kim Gordon
Everyone's so interior now, they're not really looking around them. They're on their phones.
Kim Gordon
Rap music is really good when you're traumatized.
Kim Gordon
I mean, I don't even think of myself as a musician, really.
