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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
freshman huge
I was a really big R.E.M. fan when I was like, in my freshman year of high school. I was a huge R.E.M. fan.
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.
asked male music musician questions woman
There are so many times that, as a woman in the music industry, you're asked questions no male musician would ever be asked.
artist artists bring business flexible hands ideas means rock stars time work
Kill Rock Stars has a willingness to really work with the artist and to be flexible with what they're doing... part of being an independent artists means having your hands in the business all the time, so they bring in a lot of ideas about it.
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.
throw
When in doubt, I always go vintage! Get a ruffled dress and throw a t-shirt over it.
