I wish I could open a piece of my brain and you could see into my memories.

I don't have a good attention span and can't spend long in record stores or video shops or games emporiums without getting grumpy.

I'm passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.

Reclaiming the word fat was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth, because the truth is that I am fat, and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat, I agree, whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.

The shape is the most important to me because it is what really matters and what's really missing in the market. Anything else is easier.

Portland is a place where you can find a community as a feminist, a vegan or a fat activist. Artists, musicians, knitters, and filmmakers can all meet like-minded souls. It's proved the perfect place for me and all my punk friends.

I don't get mad with people, like, 'Oh, but that's not what the song was about...' It's also nice to know that people are mindlessly dancing to a song about the US Government's stance on same-sex marriages... especially straight jocks. I love that idea. I think that's the beauty of music - it's different for everybody.
