“If I want someone to recognize the gender identity I feel, I'd have to...” — Laura Jane Grace Quote

“If I want someone to recognize the gender identity I feel, I'd have to ask for that. I can't assume people will know how I'd like to be treated on their own.”

“I was always taught by punk to think for yourself and to question authority. That's what I've always tried to do.”

“I want to write songs, and I would like to play and sing them. I'm not a politician; I'm not a comedian. I hate coming up with bits to do between songs.”

“I assume I'm like everybody in the audience, and I could be friends with everyone out there.”

“Writers want to summarize: What does this mean? What did we learn from this? That's a very 19th-century way of thinking about art, because it assumes that it should make our lives better or teach us something.”

“I guess people assume I have some sort of totally magical life, but I'm a working musician, fortunately. I've worked on my craft, and I'm very fortunate I've been able to survive in a very competitive industry and enjoy my success. It's not easy.”
