In a lot of the art world, you have to present yourself as you know what you’re doing at a young age. Music gave me another outlet. The ‘no wave’ bands were such an inspiration; it felt so free – once you start doing it, it’s hard to stop. But I can’t get away from art. It comes back around. I wouldn’t be true to myself if I didn’t pursue it. Kim Gordon Read Quote
A friend of mine introduced me to Thurston Moore because she thought I would like him. He was playing with the tallest band in the world, the Coachmen. They were sort of like Talking Heads, jangly guitar, Feelies guitar. Anyway, it was love at first sight. His band broke up that night. And we started playing. Kim Gordon Read Quote
I do retweet some of the things that people say about the things I’ve done, but I don’t necessarily want to use it to promote myself because I find that it gets kind of boring. There should just be a whole different site for that. Because it’s just kind of boring and gross to use it just self-promotion. Kim Gordon Read Quote
I was very aware of performers who have a persona, whether it’s Siouxsie Sioux or Patti Smith or Lydia Lunch, and I’m just this middle-class girl coming from a more conventional upbringing, this California person. But in a way I felt like it’s important to represent the normal. Kim Gordon Read Quote
I don’t really feel comfortable anywhere except when I’m working alone at home. It’s exhausting to be out around people. Kim Gordon Read Quote
I mean, most of it is probably more obscure and just more noisy than either of those two bands, but Thurston has stuff all the time that he’s involved with that is fairly obscure and experimental. Kim Gordon Read Quote
I went to art school, and I wanted to be an artist since I was 5. I basically moved to New York to do art, and I just sort of fell into doing music at an early age. Kim Gordon Read Quote
I love the way Lady Gaga finds humour in fashion, but it’s still very stylised. Kim Gordon Read Quote
