Kathleen Hanna Quotes Page 2 - BrainyQuote

American - Musician Born: November 12, 1969

It's unexpected for women's issues to be brought up in places other than women's centers on college campuses or crisis places.

Women Unexpected College Crisis

If I had to choose between the band or the friendships, I'd choose the friendships at this point.

Choose Band Point Friendships

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.

Women History Cool You

Facing sexism and racism and classism and transphobia, there are ways to choose to act in those situations, and there shouldn't be a prescriptive list of things that you have to say.

Racism You Choose Say

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.

Love Music Deep Person

Sometimes, being a feminist artist, there are times where I'm in a position where I just want to feel like I'm saying all the right things politically, or I feel like I have to mention my own project over other people's projects. But I don't do that anymore. I just want to be off the cuff and honest.

People Feel Sometimes My Own

I feel so lucky that I met the love of my life. You know somebody's in it to win it when they're changing your IV bag or you're having a seizure and they're holding you. And helping you to the bathroom. You know that they love you.

Life Love You My Life

I always tell girls who say they want to start a band but don't have any talent, 'Well, neither do I.' I mean, I can carry a tune, but anyone who picks up a bass can figure it out. You don't have to have magic unicorn powers.

You Talent Magic Start

That's the great thing about music. You can find some '60s pop record and feel completely invigorated by it, even though it's so old.

Music You Great Feel

Find something you really love doing and mix it with something you really care about. That's why I've had such longevity as an artist. I really, really care about ending violence against women, and I really, really love playing music. It's super enjoyable!

Love Music Women You

I go to lectures and girls are finding out about Bikini Kill or Le Tigre for the first time and are like,' This is my jam!' It still feels fresh to them.

Time Go First Time Finding

I'm totally into Taylor Swift. I think she has super-clever lyrics, and I love that she writes her own music. Some of the themes she writes about are stuff I wish was there for me when I was in high school, and I'm so happy she really cares about her female fans. She's not catering to a male audience and is writing music for other girls.

Love Music Me Happy

I like loud snare, and I like really treble-y guitars, and that's just never going to change.

Change Never Like Just

If people are like, 'Oh, you're an icon,' then whatever. But who thinks of themselves like that? It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall.

Myself You People Whatever

To make riot grrrl move into the future in a new way with a bunch of new names and a bunch of new energy, younger people have to learn about it and apply it to their own lives and own modern conversation. And they are.

Future People Way Conversation

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.

Love Sexy Simple Weird

While everyone's experience of oppression is different and complicated and often overlapping, I really believe that if you have privilege, you need to learn as much as you can about the world beyond yourself.

Experience You Yourself Believe

I especially don't want men coming up to me and asking if sexism still exists. It's like, I'm seriously gonna barf a McDonald's salad on the next person to do that.

Me Men Person Want

I always thought that putting tons of reverb on my voice was kind of the equivalent of airbrushing. And I wanted other girls and women to hear a real female voice that wasn't completely manipulated.

Women Voice Thought Real

Popularity is totally overrated.

Popularity Overrated Totally

Singing is my life, and I have to do it, or I'm going to go totally bananas.

Life My Life Singing Go

Since I loved underground music, I tried to carve a space for feminism within it. Those were my hopes.

Music Space Loved Feminism

When I watch myself on camera, in any capacity - being interviewed, performing, 20 years ago or yesterday - there's a part of me that really doesn't grasp that it's me.

Myself Me Yesterday Camera

I'm in a really lucky position where people will be interested in whatever I do, but what I do is sing.

People Will Lucky Whatever

Defining art is huge; I feel like it's such a subjective thing. It's more like what's not art. You know what I mean? I think there can be an art in the way people live their lives, and art can be a gift someone gives to somebody.

Art Gift You People

I think music can definitely be art; I also think music can be crap and not be art.

Music Art Think I Think
