BETH DITTOI support love any healthy way you can get it.
BETH DITTOThere is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.
BETH DITTOThere is no rule in the pink-triangle guide to coming out that you must wear a rainbow flag cap and organise a full band parade.
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 DITTOThis archaic idea – that a woman who is unmarried and childless at 30 is somehow unnatural – will probably always exist, and, like most social standards, it is ridiculous.
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 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 DITTOWe have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.
BETH DITTOLife is not about creating an unreal existence. People should be challenged to find something cool about the mundane.
BETH DITTOI love Vivienne Westwood. Her work is so interesting, you can always find something that’s great and fits you.
BETH DITTOI really worshipped Mama Cass a lot. Mama Cass, who was really fat and she didn’t lose weight. Yeah, she went on diets but for the most part of her life and the better part of her career she was a big person.
BETH DITTOI was given baby doll toys myself, and they proved a stark reminder that my life was expected to revolve around childbearing – just as my mom’s had before me, and her mom’s had before her.
BETH DITTOI’m a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.
BETH DITTOI’ve belched a lot more since I had gall bladder surgery. I don’t know why.
BETH DITTOThe shape is the most important to me because it is what really matters and what’s really missing in the market. Anything else is easier.
