It's So Important For People In Political

I Talked A Lot Early On In My Career About Intersectionality And How Racism And Classism And Sexism And Homophobia And Capitalism Are All Connected With Each Other, And They're These Crazy Systems That Are Feeding On Each Other And Are Also Damaging. I Can't Even Go Into The Whole Spectrum Of It. But I Feel Like Kids Today Are So Much More Savvy About That Conversation. And I'm So Thrilled When I Get To Meet Younger People Who Are Doing That So Much Better Than I Did.

I Always Tell Girls Who Say They Want To Start A Band But Don't Have Any Talent, Well, Neither Do I. I Mean, I Can Carry A Tune, But Anyone Who Picks Up A Bass Can Figure It Out. 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.

It's So Important For People In Political Groups To Learn The Difference Between Productive Criticism And Not. When It's About Something You Can Change, It's Productive. But If It's Just Like "you Are An Evil Person", You Can't Change That. There's No Way Around That.

Everybody Wasn't Always Wasted. Why Is Punk Rock About Getting Wasted? Isn't It Punk Rock To Be Sober And Change The World? I Thought It Was About Challenging Capitalism? How Are You Going To Challenge Capitalism If You're Wasted?

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.
