I think that the Internet is really cool because a lot of young feminists don't feel like they have to reinvent the wheel.

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.

I'm not going to sit around and be peace and love with somebody's boot on my neck.

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.

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.

Part of being in a band, being a painter, or starting a nonprofit is that you're going to make horrible mistakes and look like a total idiot, but you're never going to create that thing that really connects with people if you don't fail over and over and over again.

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.
