I would much rather be the obnoxious feminist girl than be complicit in my own dehumanization.

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

I stood in the bay window at our house and I sang Away In A Manger. It was my first time on stage, but there was nobody watching. I just remember it was so natural and it was such a secret - like masturbating. I felt like I had to wait until everybody was gone. So I guess six years old would be my most important age, 'cause in that moment, I just knew what I wanted to do.

I wanted to make something that I wanted to hear that I wasn't hearing.

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.

I'm not a goddess, for crying out loud. I'm a regular person who took feminism - which I have a deep connection to - and mixed it with music, which I really love to do.

I didn't even know what the word lesbian meant until I was called one... and then I had to look it up in the dictionary.
