It’s really funny - when I’m depressed or I’m having a hard time, I’ll write really fun stuff. And then when I’m really happy, I write really depressing stuff  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I’m living in a world where there are LGBTQ straight alliances at high schools. I feel pretty psyched on that  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) 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  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I don’t like being in the service industry and having to deal with people yelling at me all the time. McDonald’s was the hardest job I ever had - so I have a lot of respect for people who work in the fast food industry. Because it’s a hard job  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) 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  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I’m more interested in a feminism that ends discrimination for all people. It’s not just about a woman becoming the CEO of a company or something. It’s connected to racism and classism and gender issues that go beyond the binary  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) In 1985, I was living with my sister in Virginia, and since I was still in high school, I worked at McDonald’s to save money to get an abortion. It sounds really terrible, but it was the best decision I ever made. It was the first time I took responsibility for my actions. I messed up, had sex without contraception, and got pregnant at 15  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) Don’t get down on yourself that you can’t run a 4K or dance all night long at a fun club. Give yourself a break  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) Not to rag on myself, but when people say, ‘What does it feel like to be an icon?’ I’m like, ‘My dog does not think I’m an icon, my cat does not think I am an icon, my cousin does not think I am an icon.’ I have a really lovely group of friends, and I just don’t think about it  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) Feminism rotates between backlash and interest. And the cool thing about the Internet is that it’s allowing women more access to their own history. Part of the problem before the Internet was that we didn’t know which books to read. Someone had to tell you  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I can’t constantly be trying to write the unwritten song, the song that the 15-year-old girl needs. I need to write the song that I need  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) Johnny Rotten isn’t punk. Maybe that’s punk to somebody, but these people are participating and challenging the corporations that are telling us what punk is and what good music is  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) Certain people are like ‘Oh, here come the Feminazis!’ You end up acting 10 times nicer than you even need to be, to be the opposite of the stereotype like ‘You’re the man haters!’ We’re always bending over backwards being extra nice. And I don’t know if being nice is my legacy  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I was in a band in the 90s called Bikini Kill, and we were so freaked out about documentation then, and there was the whole thing, not just about the male gaze, but that people were going to misrepresent you... a kind fear of the mainstream that a lot of us had  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) 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  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) In the 90s, people wore scrunchies, but it was very uncool in the punk scene  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I wouldn’t want to play Miss Hannigan. I’m not a villain. She’s mean to little children! I can’t do that. That would disrupt my brand  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) It takes falling down a bunch of times before you start running  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) Every band I’ve been in, it’s just become my total life. I feel like a child star - I’ve missed out on so much  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) What usually happens with me [is that] I start with one idea in mind and then something else happens  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I don’t think I’ve ever had a woman yell that at me, but women have yelled mean things at me as well  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) There are more people who are not straight, white males going to shows  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) It’s unexpected for women’s issues to be brought up in places other than women’s centers on college campuses or crisis places.  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I’m just working and having a good time and seeing what develops, which is so awesome, because you don’t know what’s going to happen, and I’m letting myself do that a lot more than I ever have.  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) You don’t have to have magic unicorn powers. You work at it, and you get better. It’s like anything: You sit there and do it every day, and eventually you get good at it.  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I don’t consider myself a divining rod whom God is speaking through or any kind of crap like that.  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I think my biggest fear is dying. Although sometimes my biggest fear is not dying. But yeah, I think health stuff for me is more what I’m afraid of.  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) I hate the attitude of, ‘oh we already have a Lydia Lunch, so we do we need a Bikini Kill.’ Well, there’s like 2 hundered million all-male bands writting ‘baby baby I love you, let me drag you around on my ankle.’ Is that enough already? Duh!  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) There are people who view their feminism in different ways. I used to beat myself up if I didn’t react to things like I was supposed to.  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes) There’s just as many different kinds of feminism as there are women in the world  (Kathleen Hanna Quotes)
