  • I just prefer instrumental. I don't need to hear what other people are singing. And if I need music as a backdrop to work or to think, I need to have that part of the brain clear - I don't need people feeding their fantasies into my vision.

    Thinking   Lunch   People  
  • I'm like a one-woman protest machine.

  • I am a humanist not a feminist. Theres a big difference.

  • Think your own thoughts.

  • I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.

    Thinking   Names   People  
  • Musician' is not a very respected title. I'm not a musician.

  • The American way of life, as I see it, is really the American way of death. Everything is determined by greed and the insatiable desire to be the richest and most powerful. And that desire is limitless.

    Powerful   Greed   Desire  
  • Women are denied masturbation even more severely than men and that's another method of control-they're not taught to please themselves.... Most women-it takes them a while to warm up to the "situation" but once they get into it, I'm sure they're going to get just as hooked as-well, everyone I know is!

  • I'm nihilistic, antagonistic, violent, horrible - but not obliterated, yet. I just refuse to be beaten down. I think it's stubborness that keeps me going.

  • If people could understand how much pleasure they could have by themselves, I think everyone would be a lot saner. I think that people really need a dose of quality time with one's self.

    Thinking   Self   People  
  • My job is to confront apathy and confront all the forces that tend to batter each of us down with all kind of oppression, even self-oppression. I consider that the main job of the art that I do- to rattle the cage, wake people up, wake myself up, confront all that would conspire to keep us down.

    Art   Jobs   Self  
  • I would be humiliated if I found out that anything I did actually became a commercial success.

    Lunch   Would Be   Found  
  • Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.

    Eye   Thinking   Lunch  
  • The female format is a beautiful one in which to function. Foolhardy as it may be. I change my image all the time, it's whatever suits me at the moment.

  • Sure you're powerless, sure you're just one person, sure you can't change anything but you don't have to be miserable about it as well.

  • I think it's important to encourage gluttony in all its formats.

  • I'm completely optimistic - I know the end is coming!

    Optimistic   Lunch   Ends  
  • I decided to lock myself in. A forced segregation. Sabbatical. A retreat into myself. My selves. Play hide and go seek in the looking-glass. The mirror angled at the foot of my bed. Twisted reflections bouncing off into infinity. Obsessed with my image, the myriad of distored figurines who danced in front of me in rapid succession, every feature exaggerated, every slight imperfection a new delicacy.

    Lydia Lunch (1997). “Paradoxia: A Predator's Diary”, Creation Publishing Group
  • I'm a total pleasure seeker. I pursue anything that satisfies me. I usually get it. I have specific needs and I know what they are so I can achieve satisfaction.

  • Politics are always involved, even in my love songs.

    Song   Involved  
  • Part of the charm of what I do is the fact that its completely unrelated to everything that came before.

    Lunch   Facts   Charm  
  • I had to de-program myself. From myself. Had to reinvent rituals of purification. So full of the vagrant pollutions of others. It was time to detox. Not only from alcohol, sex, and drugs, but from needy leeches who looked to swab me with their sores. Detox from my own needy lechery. Had to locate the center wound and cauterize. Undo the original sin, the origin of my sickness...Had to learn to replace Them, It, Want, Hurt, Anger, Sorrow, Loss, with Power, Healing, Wisdom, Fulfillment, Satisfaction.

    Hurt   Sex   Healing  
  • I'm a very sympathetic person, but that doesn't always come across in my work because I'm too busy being mad at everything.

    Lunch   Mad   Busy  
  • I think my speeches are hilarious. I think I'm a natural comedian, but I like denying people the chance to laugh. I want to deny you the relief of the punchline.

    Thinking   Ethos   Lunch  
  • The need to document my insanity is an affliction I have not yet cured myself of.

  • Just because my bank account hasn't swelled astronomically I don't consider myself any less of a success.

  • There is so much in the world to hate, why hate yourself?
