I Just Write What I Want To

I Feel Like There's This Weird Thing That As A Feminist Band You Get Put In This Role As Ambassadors.

Feminism Rotates Between Backlash And Interest. And The Cool Thing About The Internet Is That It's Allowing Women More Access To Their Own History. Part Of The Problem Before The Internet Was That We Didn't Know Which Books To Read. Someone Had To Tell You.

I Think Open Adoption Is A Great Idea, Because It Allows A Relationship Between The Birth Mother And Her Child So That The Kid Isn't Like, "where Did I Come From?" And To Have It Be Like, "look, You Have A Bunch Of People Who Love You."

People Can Be In A Prison Of Their Own Mind. [there Are] People Who Don't Have Their Hearts Open To Other People's Ideas, And Can't Listen To Other People's Ideas Without Feeling Like They're Being Slapped In The Face. Those People Are More In A Prison.

I've Always Thought That "punk" Wasn't Really A Genre. My Band Started In Olympia Where K Records Was And K Records Put Out Music That Didn't Sound Super Loud And Aggressive. And Yet They Were Punk Because They Were Creating Culture In Their Own Community Instead Of Taking Their Cue From Mtv About What Was Real Music And What Was Cool. It Wasn't About A Certain Fashion. It Was About Your Ideology, It Was About Creating A Community And Doing It On Your Own And Not Having To Rely On, Kinda, "the Man" To Brand You And Say That You Were Okay.
