I always get โWhatโs wrong?โ or โLighten up.โ Half the time, when guys tell me to smile, Iโm not even frowning, Iโm thinking! Then Iโm like, Oh! Some men donโt want women to think! Do they all have walkie-talkies? Are they all in this together? Like, โOK, sheโs thinking, someone say something. Sheโs reading, go distract her.โ It starts feeling like that sometimes, doesnโt it?
Kathleen HannaIt takes your mind off things when there's a cat in your lip and he's purring while you're petting him.
Kathleen HannaI do have personal relationships with a lot of "fans," in quotations. I answer all my mail, I get emails from fans, and I try to answer them all. That's important to me, but occasionally there's the thing where people basically ask me to write book reports for them, and I don't have that kind of time. I feel like there's a certain sexism involved, like because I'm a woman I'm supposed to constantly be like giving to everybody.
