Glass: "Purity is an illusion. The idea of purity has been used as an excuse for calamities like honor killings, bride burnings, child molestation. Purification is genocide."

Glass: "I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school until junior high. I don't believe in transmigration or anything like that. I have resentment for being forced to believe in something. I will always think of the church as an institution and not a comfort."

Glass: "My look is more grandmother’s leftovers than heroin chic."

Glass: "The worst way of oppression involve exploitation of children, preying on vulnerability, denying others the right to live safely, and denying people of their right to education. Two-thirds of the world's illiterate are women. Sixty-six percent of countries have no laws to protect women from domestic abuse, and battery is the largest cause of injury to women in America."

Glass: "Burkas represent different things to different people. Some see regression, some see liberation."

Glass: “At the time, I thought that being personable and direct in music was cheesy, and speaking in metaphors and having things be thematically confusing was cool. But that is totally false, and in a lot of ways, it imprisoned me into a role of what I thought would be acceptable. Since I was mysterious, you could imagine anything you want, like I could be off doing so many romantic things. And I wish I was doing those things. But I wasn’t. I was just sitting around in a f*cking room.”

Glass: "When I genetically engineer my child from a test tube, I want them to have big eyes."

Glass: "No one should say whether others should breed or not, that would go against how I feel a woman has the right to choose. Everyone has the right to feel regret."

Glass: “I’ll feel bits of happiness with my cats or my dogs, or if it’s nice outside, but I don’t really think I’m a happy person. I don’t know if I believe in that. I think that’s why people cry in movies when there’s a happy ending: Somewhere inside them, they know that life doesn’t work like that. There’s a subconscious part of us that knows we will never be that happy.”

Glass: "I want women to have access to safe healthcare and be in control of their own bodies. I am a feminist. Everyone should be a feminist."

Glass: "I'm feminine: I'm wearing a skirt, I own a bra. I think that whole big blonde look has been taken over by transsexuals now. I'm a natural blonde, but that blonde hair, big tits idea of what men want, it's now really unfeminine."

Glass: “The first couple of Crystal Castles shows, I remember people booing me, and at some point I was like: I don’t really give a f*ck—even if you think I’m terrible, I’m the one with the microphone, so joke’s on you, asshole.”
