Lydia Lunch

The female format is a beautiful one in which to function. Foolhardy as it may be. I change my image all the time, it's whatever suits me at the moment.

I'm like a one-woman protest machine.

The imperial, genocidal war machine never rests, so I don't either.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I can look back at things I've done and said and worn and be completely humiliated by them, but I can never say it wasn't me. I feel really honored to say that.

When I was 6, I saw a commercial that Jessica Simpson was in, and that was the first time I felt my little heart flutter.
