Beth Ditto Quotes

ABBA was a direct influence on me Picture Quote #1

I love Adele so much and it’s honestly not because we’re both big Picture Quote #1

I’m shameless, and I love a pun. There’s a lot of Beth puns Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure that I am able to feel embarrassment Picture Quote #1

Portland is a place where you can find a community as a feminist, a vegan or a fat activist. Artists, musicians, knitters, and filmmakers can all meet like-minded souls. It’s proved the perfect place for me and all my punk friends Picture Quote #1

We all seek approval, and our mother’s seal is usually the most important. The nitty gritty is that we have to accept ourselves, even if it is just to be ready for the next cut-down. Mom’s blessing or not Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how something so normal and mundane that you see every day-your body-can be controversial. The shock value is intense. It’s like carrying an art piece around with you all the time Picture Quote #1

I have no control over what people think of me but I have 100% control of what I think of myself, and that is so important. And not just about your body, but so many ways of confidence. You’re constantly learning how to be confident, aren’t you? Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I was always mad - just noticing the women at Thanksgiving, running around the kitchen, while the men were watching football. For one, I don’t want to cook, and for two, I hate football. I was stuck in the middle Picture Quote #1

I’m on a diet. It’s very strict: all hot dogs. Just sausages, constantly. It’s working out - I’ve gained fifteen pounds! Picture Quote #1

When you see a fantastic colour or cut in a magazine, perched up on some famous so-and-so’s head, it’s tempting to ask your stylist for the same, but do not be fooled. The hair in those fancy photos can be very high maintenance Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There is something to be said for people who have to work hard, be creative, produce what they have with little - or no - means. Those of us from poor homes have the advantage of thinking for ourselves and of knowing that when times get hard, things could always be worse Picture Quote #1

Olympia was a town crawling with music. I was new to the whole punk scene. The culture shock continued; Olympia had bagels! We didn’t have bagels in Arkansas. You could order vegetarian food all over town! It was so crazy to me - a place with so many vegetarians, the restaurants made special dishes for them? Picture Quote #1

My size has helped make me an amazing performer too. The cliche of the Funny Fat Friend: I absolutely was that character - I am that character... It’s a complicated bag of tools I acquired, and I’ve put them all to work onstage Picture Quote #1

In moments when I question if I should be having kids, I think of all those phone calls from my sister-in-law, in which, 3,000 miles away, I hear my nephews screaming for her attention. I tell her I have to go because I am packing to leave for Europe, and her tone flatlines: ‘That must be nice.’ Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didn’t work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too; just different than mine Picture Quote #1

I’ve had people ask me in interviews what it’s like to have money, but that’s not how it is. I have a middle-class life. I have a room in London but not a house, nor a BMW Picture Quote #1

I worshipped Ethel Merman and I worshipped Ethel Merman a lot. It’s incredible - Ethel Merman was a conventional singer. Her naming her child Ethel Merman, Jr., was, to me, one of the coolest feminist things Picture Quote #1

I want to make the IKEA of clothes for fat girls and boys. Cheap, affordable, basic - but ethically made. Basics, you know? Like Spanx - I’m still confused as to why retailers haven’t ripped them off yet and done it well. It’s because they don’t understand the basics behind it. I love Spanx. I’m wearing ‘em right now! Picture Quote #1

I think that for the five-year-old watching MTV right now, Lady Gaga is going to be an iconic person. In 20 years, the people who are here and talking to journalists will be like, ‘Oh Lady Gaga changed my life, Nicki Minaj changed my life.’ They’ll be saying who influenced them and it will be Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, artists like that Picture Quote #1

I really worshipped Mama Cass a lot. Mama Cass, who was really fat and she didn’t lose weight. Yeah, she went on diets but for the most part of her life and the better part of her career she was a big person Picture Quote #1

I just like food too much, and I don’t want to change. I spent so much of childhood trying to change, and I just got sick of it... I don’t want to look like Britney Spears, I just don’t want to. She’s hideous Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As with most phobias, the fear of flying does make some sense, but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all, life is short, and there’s a great big world to explore out there Picture Quote #1

Growing up as a chubby kid with a ton of imaginary friends and a Cyndi Lauper obsession, I learned about rejection early on and was constantly trying to avoid it Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer in karma, and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me Picture Quote #1

The fit is my main focus, I want the fit to be great and that’s the focal point for me Picture Quote #1

I am tired of spending a little bit of money in a lot of pieces because they keep on falling apart Picture Quote #1

I think if the world were a fair and just place, there wouldn’t even need to be a gay label Picture Quote #1
