It can be really painful to have to face how fucked up shit is and how scared people are…of being alive. Scared of things that are amazing. Scared of things that aren’t like television or aren’t dead.

When the world only treats you like a dot on a marketing scheme, you can learn to treat yourself and other people like that. Kathleen Hanna
Kathleen Hanna quote: "People have always had these weird things about how you have..."
People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer. Kathleen Hanna

Kathleen Hanna quote: "There are so many great artists that are doing interesting..."
There are so many great artists that are doing interesting things, that I don't want to focus on boring people. Kathleen Hanna
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
I felt it was really, really important, not just in the vein of feminist erasure or whatever but also just as an artist that I honored my work. Kathleen Hanna
Kathleen Hanna quote: "I wanted to say to myself as much as anyone else that we made..."
I wanted to say to myself as much as anyone else that we made art. Kathleen Hanna
