amazing history honored inspired obviously riot
I think Pussy Riot is amazing. I'm honored that they were inspired by riot grrl, and obviously they're making history around the world.
driven huge inspired lack people shame speaks successful
I think there's a huge lack of political artists in America, and I think it really speaks to our consumeristic culture and how people are driven to be financially successful here. It's such a shame that we don't have people who are more inspired than that.
joined pay talking twenty women
Twenty years later, twenty years after I joined the women's movement, we're still talking about the same issues. We're still talking about reproductive rights for women, and we're still talking about getting equal pay for women. And that's just frustrating.
music
When I started playing music, it was all face-to-face.
add argue creating delicious dinner family ground likely love results succeed success tried
I don't always succeed in creating a delicious dinner for my family; I would, however, argue for the likely success of Taco Night. Who doesn't love a taco? Make it with veggie crumbles! Add fish! Have you tried ground buffalo? The results are always impressive.
english given language love passed
My love of reading and the English language is something given to me by my parents, and I've passed it on to my children.
throw
When in doubt, I always go vintage! Get a ruffled dress and throw a t-shirt over it.
child great instrument musical piano studied theory understand
I think having musical training as a child was really, really important. I studied piano as a child. Piano is a great instrument to understand musical theory on. I think I have that in my brain somewhere.
breaking stand
Part of this whole Sleater-Kinney 2.0 is breaking the rules. We wanted to tell our story... we feel like we need to stand up for ourselves.
hear male music rock
I think that, by and large, the predominant voice we hear in rock music is a white male voice.
amazing
I think 'Amazing Race' is sometimes like being on tour.
draws guitar huge immediate influence intense line melodic melody related song
I think the B-52's were a huge influence on Sleater-Kinney. The way that there'd be a really interesting guitar line that'd be really melodic and kind of simplistic, I really related to that. The sense of melody is really intense and fun. It's not just traditional song structures, but it's very melodic and draws you in, in kind of an immediate way.
musician people privileged
I feel really privileged that I've been able to be an activist and a musician for over 20 years now, and I've always been able to say whatever I want. I think that's something we Americans really take for granted, but it's a big deal, and it's not something most people in the world are able to do.
encourage fulfill incredibly kids trying
I feel really lucky. My fans are incredibly loyal. They encourage me to keep going. I feel more torn, trying to fulfill what my kids need. It's really huge. They're doing so well.
