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

Clothes are signifiers and symbols of how people communicate with each other.
Kim Gordon
I always wanted to rebel.
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
People pay to see others believe in themselves.
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 just think that playing bass, like punk rock bass with a pick, wasn't meant to be done for 25 years.
Kim Gordon
Everyone's so interior now, they're not really looking around them. They're on their phones.
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
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
Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.
Kim Gordon
Rap music is really good when you're traumatized.
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
Recently some work I made could be seen as feminist art or work that relates to the body. That's just what I'm feeling - like it needs to be done.
