I Never Said I Wanted To Be

I Have A Lot Of Feminist Idols. My Favorite Thing About Growing Up In Arkansas - Well, Not Favorite But Something I've Always Felt Grateful For - Was That I Really Had To Dig For What I Could. There Was No Internet. There Wasn't Tons Of Feminist Literature Floating Around.

I Think From A Major-label Perspective, If You Were On The Flip Side Of Things And That's The World You Were Used To Working In, Your Interpretation Could Be, "oh, They're Having Trouble Writing Songs," When Really It's Like, "no, I'm Not Ready To Write Songs, I Don't Want To Write A Song Right Now, If I Did Write A Song, It Would Be Forced."

I Think If The World Were A Fair And Just Place, There Wouldn't Even Need To Be A Gay Label.

Products Are A Must - Full Stop. I'm Sorry To Say It, But That Bob Won't Look So Sleek On Its Own - You Need A Little Help. It Doesn't Have To Be The High-end Stuff That They Sell In The Salon. Products You Find In The Supermarket Are Just As Good, And Sometimes Better.

I Grew Up With The Motto Of "they Can't Kill You And Eat You," And I Still Think That's Right. You Sure As Hell Can't! When It Comes To Speaking About My Body Makes Other People Uncomfortable But It Doesn't Make Me Uncomfortable. It Makes Them Think More About Themselves Than It Makes Them Judge Me. I've Always Had This Body And Had To Live With It. I've Never Been A Little Thing. I've Been Smaller But I've Never Been Small, Even As A Baby. I've Never Had That Window Into That Kind Of World Where People Only Talk To You Because You're Conventionally Sexy.
