“Women make natural anarchists and revolutionaries because they've alwa...” — Kim Gordon Quote

Women make natural anarchists and revolutionaries because they've always been second-class citizens, kinda having had to claw their way up. I mean, who made up all the rules in the culture? Men - white male corporate society. So why wouldn't a woman want to rebel against that?

I am basically a shy person, so performing sometimes helps me focus - having all those people concentrate their attention on you. I don't see it so much as becoming another person onstage; it's more exploring a different side of your personality.

In the early eighties, there were a lot of artists involved with the music scene. All those young artists, before their careers took off, were into music. Robert Longo used to play some guitar. He had a band for a while. Basquiat had a band. I mean, people were always trying to mix music and art - in fact, I'm guilty of it myself.

Working on art, as opposed to being in a constant collaborative state, as in a band, is something that I've always done - to a smaller degree, but it always remained a part of my integral self.

When the men are silent, it is our duty to raise our voices in behalf of our ideals.

All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

The real use of gunpowder is to make all men tall.

Parties are continually changing. The men of today give place to the men of tomorrow, and the idols which one set worship, the next destroy.

We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
