I was in a band in the '90s called Bikini Kill, and we were so freaked out about documentation then, and there was the whole thing, not just about the male gaze, but that people were going to misrepresent you... a kind fear of the mainstream that a lot of us had.

I felt it was really, really important, not just in the vein of feminist erasure or whatever but also just as an artist that I honored my work.
