I really like to talk about my work in a way that is complicated.

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.

It's so crazy because kids that wrote to me when they were 14 years old are still in my life. A lot have gone on to become musicians and artists in their own right who inspire me now.

Just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art.

The cool thing about the Internet is that it's allowing women more access to their own history.

I feel like that when I read certain feminist blogs or feminist magazines, where it's not even so much we've gone backwards, it's that I'm bored. Or it's like, oh wow, kids today are still dealing with the same exact issues.

I always wanted to play music, but my family was more interested in handing me paints and markers. Art was always my favorite subject in school, and I can remember staying up all night drawing as a small child. My expression via art was extremely strong as I grew and hasn't stopped.
