As I've gotten older, I've realized that things are a lot more permeable. It's not so black and white: not every journalist is a jerk.

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

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

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.

I kind of decided that doing music is enough because I'm already running a couple small businesses. I'm a part of Bikini Kill Records, Le Tigre Records, and Digitally Ruined Records. In dealing with my health and everything, my ability to do that? I wouldn't be good at it.

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.

For whatever reason I just remembered being six years old and my parents leaving the house and trusting me to be alone. I had an older sister, I think she was supposed to babysit me but she immediately ran across the street to her friend's house.
