I Really Like To Talk About My

There Are People Who View Their Feminism In Different Ways. I Used To Beat Myself Up If I Didn't React To Things Like I Was Supposed To.

If People Are Like, 'oh, You're An Icon,' Then Whatever. But Who Thinks Of Themselves Like That? It's Not Like I Have Posters Of Myself On The Wall.

One Of The Reasons I Went Back To Music Even Though I Was Extremely Ill Was Because I Started To Forget Who I Was Aside From Being Sick. And When I'm Performing, Or Even Lecturing, It's Like I'm Myself Again, And That Was A Really Amazing Discovery - That, All Of A Sudden, I Have A Get-out-of-jail-free Card.

I Think That It's So Powerful For Me To Go See Someone Like Bridget Everett At Joe's Pub And Watch Her Weave Her Songs In And Out Of These Funny, Tragic Stories - You Can Talk And Sing And It's Not This Horrible Offense, You're Going To Get Thrown In Artistic Jail.

I Kind Of Decided That Doing Music Is Enough Because I'm Already Running A Couple Small Businesses. I'm A Part Of Bikini Kill Records, Le Tigre Records, And Digitally Ruined Records. In Dealing With My Health And Everything, My Ability To Do That? I Wouldn't Be Good At It.
