While Sexism Hurts Women Most Intimately, It

In 1985, I Was Living With My Sister In Virginia, And Since I Was Still In High School, I Worked At Mcdonald's To Save Money To Get An Abortion. It Sounds Really Terrible, But It Was The Best Decision I Ever Made. It Was The First Time I Took Responsibility For My Actions. I Messed Up, Had Sex Without Contraception, And Got Pregnant At 15.

My Vision Of Punk Rock Was These Dudes Who Were Spitting On The Audience And Moshing. That's Why I Kind Of Left That Scene. Then I See All These People Around My Same Age Or Between 17 And 25 That Were Making Music Themselves In Their Own Town. They Weren't Just Singing, But Creating. I See Them Putting Out This Music Where There Are Tons Of Women Involved In The Scene And Involved In The Bands.

Most Of My Records Are Never Going To Be Commercial Successes, And I Don't Expect That. It's Just All A Learning Process To Me. If Something Appears As A Failure, Fine. If There's Success, Fine. I Like The Record, And My Friends Like The Record, And That's Kind Of All I Can Really Care About.

Art Revolves Around Creating Something That Isn't There.

I Really Love That I'm Giving Myself The Opportunity Finally To Not Have The Pressure Of Every Single Song You Do Having To Be "political" Or Whatever. I'm Just Making What I Wanna Make.
