A Quote by Corin Tucker

Part of this whole Sleater-Kinney 2.0 is breaking the rules. We wanted to tell our story... we feel like we need to stand up for ourselves.

This band has a weight to it. Our songs feel important to play... That was missing in my life without Sleater-Kinney.

Janet Weiss

I loooved Sleater-Kinney like a crazy person.

Fred Armisen

Sleater-Kinney is a band that we hold close to our hearts as well; it's not something that we're cynical or jaded about. We only feel gratefulness and appreciation for other people's enthusiasm about it. We would never be annoyed by that.

Carrie Brownstein

I liken Sleater-Kinney to a freight train. It felt like this incredible, forward-moving, powerful energy.

Janet Weiss

I saw Sleater Kinney perform back when I was in college.

Jonathan Krisel

With Sleater-Kinney, we did a lot of improvisation in our live shows, and even our process of songwriting involved bringing in disparate parts and putting them together to form something cohesive.

Carrie Brownstein

So, first, I wanted to be a part of the project because I thought it was an important story to tell. On top of that, it's rare to find roles for strong, young, feisty women, especially in a military film. And I love that Suarez ends up being the moral compass of the story, and that she's also brave enough to stand up to all these men.

Zoe Kravitz

After Sleater-Kinney broke up in 2006 I had very little desire to play music. It took well over three years before picking up a guitar meant anything to me other than an exercise.

Carrie Brownstein

I went to grad school because I wanted to learn the rules so I would know how to break them. Breaking the rules is saying, 'I'm breaking in, OK? I'm breaking in your very comfortable little house over here, and I'm going to take a room.'

Danai Gurira

You don't hear it on the radio. There's something about the voices in Sleater-Kinney that's a little too challenging to ever be on the inside.

Janet Weiss

With Sleater-Kinney, we have a lot of earnest fans, and we were an earnest band.

Carrie Brownstein

The way that I work as an actress, I always prefer to read the whole story and tell the whole story and feel what the whole story's going to be, the journey for the audience and how it ebbs and flows, the highs and the lows.

Jes Macallan

Sleater-Kinney becomes bigger than the three of us. It pulls us along, in a way.

Janet Weiss

I think people would describe a lot of Sleater-Kinney as unsettling. And I don't think our best moments have sonic assonance to them. I think that we are best with a little bit of... a caustic attitude and tone.

Carrie Brownstein

But long story short, I didn't start doing stand-up because I wanted to have a TV show or be an actor or even wanted to write sketch comedy. I got into stand-up because I love stand-up.
