Okay, so we held this most amazing party on a boat in Sydney Harbour by the Bridge. It was out of this fucking world, so beautiful, one of the best nights, like, ever. But this kid from one of the other bands, Thunderbirds Are Now, kept saying, ‘Where’s the fucking vagina at this party?’ He was such a dick. Then he started moaning that there were too many dykes on our boat. I was like, ‘Well, there’s so many dykes because we’re fucking dykes. You know that the band you’re touring with is two-thirds dyke don’t you?’ He was so negative and disrespectful about women, I was like, ‘Oh wait, you just wait boy.’ When he thought I’d calmed down, I quietly went off to drink two whole bottles of red wine really fucking quickly. When I was full to the brim, I snuck up behind him and stuck my fingers right down my throat. This absolute fucking ocean of bright red wine puke just flew out of me and all over him. I drenched the poor kid head to toe. I’ve got to say it fucking ruled. Won’t be acting like that again, will you, young man.

Beth Ditto in Rolling Stone magazine. (via communismkillsitonthedancefloor) MY HERO (via panasonicyouth) I…I knew I listened to Gossip for a reason. (via toodorkyforyourmusic) I was not expecting that but god I love her |
I cured myself of shyness when it finally occurred to me that people didn’t think about me half as much as I gave them credit for. The truth was, nobody gave a damn. Like most teenagers, I was far too self-centered. When I stopped being prisoner to what I worried was others’ opinions of me, I became more confident and free.

Yes. So much yes
it is totally possible for us to be both musicians and bankers, artists and baseball players, sound engineers and baristas, tattoo artists and secretaries, data analysts and sci-fi writers, teachers and naked on the internet, photographers and taxi drivers, parole officers and inventors, vet technicians and fetish models—the more people who realize this possibility because more people are refusing to be simply one thing, the goddamn better.
Don’t ever let someone make you feel like you can only be one thing. Fuck that. Be everything.
There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.

If you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.

Nostalgia is denial of the painful present. The name for this denial is Golden Age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one one is living in - it’s a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present.

“I used to drive around at night and listen to music, ‘cause I couldn’t sleep. And I was driving around, and I was wishing so badly that I had someone to talk to, a friend, someone. And I didn’t. And I saw this magazine stand, an outdoor magazine stand, and I saw myself on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and it said something like ‘Winona Ryder the luckiest girl in the world’… And it broke my heart. Because, there I was y’know in so much pain, feeling so confused, feeling so lost in my life. I wasn’t allowed to complain because I was so lucky, y’know? I was so blessed, I made a lot of money, my problems weren’t real problems. I’m as nauseated as the next person when actors complain about their lives, y’know we are blessed, we are lucky. But the stuff I was going through was difficult.”
If you can stay light, and stay loose, and stay relaxed, you can play at the very highest level—as a baseball player or a human being.
