Sometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that’s what you’re feeling?
BETH DITTOSometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that’s what you’re feeling?
BETH DITTOI mean, if I was living to please people, I’d have never been in a band at all. I wouldn’t have anything awesome around. I’d just be bored.
BETH DITTOHigh school wasn’t so bad though because, by then, I had worked out that there were far more nerdy kids and poor kids than there were rich, popular kids, so, at the very least, we had them outnumbered.
BETH DITTOI grew up with the motto of “they can’t kill you and eat you,” and I still think that’s right. You sure as hell can’t! When it comes to speaking about my body makes other people uncomfortable but it doesn’t make me uncomfortable.
BETH DITTOGet a Job’ is about all the rich kids we knew when we were younger, kids who never had jobs but always had money for partying or getting their hair done.
BETH DITTOI think it’s really cool that there are people like Adele on the cover of ‘Vogue’ and ‘Rolling Stone,’ and like I think it’s really important that people are talking about your body, because if they don’t, then you’ll never be able to break that barrier.
BETH DITTOI love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.
BETH DITTOABBA was a direct influence on me.
BETH DITTOI’m 90% performer, 10% musician. I’ve always said that Gossip are a band I would go see, not a band I would listen to.
BETH DITTOI thought to be feminine was to give in to straight culture, or the beauty standard, but in my heart I had a flair for fashion and style. They were passions I kept secret because I didn’t understand I could love clothes and hair and makeup and still like girls.
BETH DITTOWhy wear pants when you can wear a muumuu?
BETH DITTOTo be thin and to stay really thin, sometimes some people literally do coke all the time. Some people smoke cigarettes instead of eating. That’s crazy. But that’s ‘okay’ because you look healthier.
BETH DITTOI don’t love the word luxury because it feels Bougy to me.
BETH DITTOI find inspiration everywhere. I love challenges and my favorite thing is to find something ridiculous and be like “if it’s all that I have available to me, I am gonna make it look the best that I can”.
BETH DITTOI have a lot of feminist idols. My favorite thing about growing up in Arkansas – well, not favorite but something I’ve always felt grateful for – was that I really had to dig for what I could. There was no Internet. There wasn’t tons of feminist literature floating around.
BETH DITTOI never went to college and I was raised in Arkansas so there wasn’t a lot of academic language being thrown around my house.
