I’m passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.
BETH DITTOI’m passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.
BETH DITTOI can take care of a house, and some people I meet, I think, ‘You don’t even know how to make a bed.
BETH DITTOI’ve had a ton of fast-food jobs – it changes your approach to human interaction forever.
BETH DITTOA few years back, when my style was “punk grandma”, I picked up an amazing pair of sandals – orthopaedic ones, with really thick soles. I’ve given them away to a friend now, because these days my look is more “1980s substitute teacher gone wild.”
BETH DITTOI always was really confident about myself, about my voice, myself as a person, my body, all of those things, but as a songwriter – I just didn’t identify as a songwriter at all.
BETH DITTOWe have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.
BETH DITTOI love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.
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 DITTOBecause I didn’t have any queer, lesbian, female role models I hated my own femininity and had to look deep within myself to create an identity that worked for me. Pop culture just doesn’t hand us enough variety to choose from.
BETH DITTOProducts are a must – full stop. I’m sorry to say it, but that bob won’t look so sleek on its own – you need a little help. It doesn’t have to be the high-end stuff that they sell in the salon. Products you find in the supermarket are just as good, and sometimes better.
BETH DITTOI work really well under pressure but I really hate doing things on a timeframe.
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 DITTOThis is how I feel about everything that’s out of your control: once you make a record, it’s not yours anymore. There’s nothing you can do. It’s the way I feel about political movements – both of those things grow on their own.
BETH DITTOI’ve belched a lot more since I had gall bladder surgery. I don’t know why.
BETH DITTOI’m a feminist, of course, and I feel as if I’m very politically correct, although I do question what’s PC and what’s not – I don’t just accept what I’m told.
BETH DITTOWith a stretch belt, anything can be a dress – a dinner napkin, a tablecloth, even a towel. Just wrap and snap, and away you go in an incredible outfit. Another plus is that the belt will pull all eyes to your lovely curves, and they even look good around a coat or a jacket.
