I never said I wanted to be a singer for the rest of my life.
BETH DITTOI never said I wanted to be a singer for the rest of my life.
BETH DITTOA beautiful plant is like having a friend around the house.
BETH DITTOWe have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.
BETH DITTOYou’re talking about a major label, we’re talking about serious business; you’re not an artist anymore, you’re a business, you have to work in terms of product, you have to release a product, and I don’t really think that way at all.
BETH DITTOWhen I moved out of my mom’s house at 18 I was almost as sad to leave her sewing machine behind as anything else.
BETH DITTOStarting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music – well, still not knowing how to play music.
BETH DITTOThe thing about being on the majors, from the beginning, going into this, I was like, “I’m not going to be treated like a factory,” because that’s never the way it was done before.
BETH DITTOI’m passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.
BETH DITTOWhen I was a kid Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell were mere blips on the gaydar; and they were both still in the closet.
BETH DITTOABBA was a direct influence on me.
BETH DITTOGirls are taught to sing high and pretty, like Antony, not low and from the guts like Nina Simone. But we’re slowly trying to change that. There are so many things we’re not told growing up, and it’s our true feminist responsibility to take the truth to the people who need to hear it.
BETH DITTOEven talking, I’m super-loud. I could never have that kind of meek, little wispy whimsical lavender and lace voice. It comes from my body. There’s no way I can fight it.
BETH DITTOWhen I think about the idea of Rebel Wilson having to go to the Oscars and not having something amazing to wear that’s made for her, it drives me mad.
BETH DITTOI have been 130 lbs. as well as 215 lbs. I have had blond, strawberry blond, green, pink and purple hair, and none of that has ever exempted me from having lewd comments flung at me in the street.
BETH DITTODo I ever think Gossip will be really massive in America? No, I don’t think it’ll happen – and that’s fine. It’s kind of nice because I get to experience everything at once. I get to come home and it not be weird, like in Paris or something. It is nice to be completely anonymous.
BETH DITTOI support love any healthy way you can get it.
