Kathleen Hanna Quotes

It’s really funny - when I’m depressed or I’m having a hard time, I’ll write really fun stuff. And then when I’m really happy, I write really depressing stuff Picture Quote #1

I’m living in a world where there are LGBTQ straight alliances at high schools. I feel pretty psyched on that Picture Quote #1

If I were a supervillain, I would end capitalism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia... but I guess that’s a little too obvious and not villain-y enough. Because that’s actually being a superhero. I would break down poverty with my machete; I would end world hunger Picture Quote #1

I don’t like being in the service industry and having to deal with people yelling at me all the time. McDonald’s was the hardest job I ever had - so I have a lot of respect for people who work in the fast food industry. Because it’s a hard job Picture Quote #1

I’m not a goddess, for crying out loud. I’m a regular person who took feminism - which I have a deep connection to - and mixed it with music, which I really love to do Picture Quote #1

I’m more interested in a feminism that ends discrimination for all people. It’s not just about a woman becoming the CEO of a company or something. It’s connected to racism and classism and gender issues that go beyond the binary Picture Quote #1

In 1985, I was living with my sister in Virginia, and since I was still in high school, I worked at McDonald’s to save money to get an abortion. It sounds really terrible, but it was the best decision I ever made. It was the first time I took responsibility for my actions. I messed up, had sex without contraception, and got pregnant at 15 Picture Quote #1

Don’t get down on yourself that you can’t run a 4K or dance all night long at a fun club. Give yourself a break Picture Quote #1

Not to rag on myself, but when people say, ‘What does it feel like to be an icon?’ I’m like, ‘My dog does not think I’m an icon, my cat does not think I am an icon, my cousin does not think I am an icon.’ I have a really lovely group of friends, and I just don’t think about it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I can’t constantly be trying to write the unwritten song, the song that the 15-year-old girl needs. I need to write the song that I need Picture Quote #1

Johnny Rotten isn’t punk. Maybe that’s punk to somebody, but these people are participating and challenging the corporations that are telling us what punk is and what good music is Picture Quote #1

Certain people are like ‘Oh, here come the Feminazis!’ You end up acting 10 times nicer than you even need to be, to be the opposite of the stereotype like ‘You’re the man haters!’ We’re always bending over backwards being extra nice. And I don’t know if being nice is my legacy Picture Quote #1

I was in a band in the 90s called Bikini Kill, and we were so freaked out about documentation then, and there was the whole thing, not just about the male gaze, but that people were going to misrepresent you... a kind fear of the mainstream that a lot of us had Picture Quote #1

I know I love sexy surf guitars, I know I love loud snare. I love really simple repeating bass lines, and I love weird mad scientist keyboard sounds Picture Quote #1

In the 90s, people wore scrunchies, but it was very uncool in the punk scene Picture Quote #1

It takes falling down a bunch of times before you start running Picture Quote #1

Every band I’ve been in, it’s just become my total life. I feel like a child star - I’ve missed out on so much Picture Quote #1

What usually happens with me [is that] I start with one idea in mind and then something else happens Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’ve ever had a woman yell that at me, but women have yelled mean things at me as well Picture Quote #1

There are more people who are not straight, white males going to shows Picture Quote #1

It’s unexpected for women’s issues to be brought up in places other than women’s centers on college campuses or crisis places Picture Quote #1

I’m just working and having a good time and seeing what develops, which is so awesome, because you don’t know what’s going to happen, and I’m letting myself do that a lot more than I ever have Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to have magic unicorn powers. You work at it, and you get better. It’s like anything: You sit there and do it every day, and eventually you get good at it Picture Quote #1

I don’t consider myself a divining rod whom God is speaking through or any kind of crap like that Picture Quote #1

I think my biggest fear is dying. Although sometimes my biggest fear is not dying. But yeah, I think health stuff for me is more what I’m afraid of Picture Quote #1

I hate the attitude of, ‘oh we already have a Lydia Lunch, so we do we need a Bikini Kill.’ Well, there’s like 2 hundered million all-male bands writting ‘baby baby I love you, let me drag you around on my ankle.’ Is that enough already? Duh! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There’s just as many different kinds of feminism as there are women in the world Picture Quote #1
