More quotes by Joan Jett
Well before I was in a band, I wanted to be everything from a vet, an astronaut, an archeologist was a big one. It could be very wide-ranging because I had a lot of different interests including music so I'm very happy where I wound up.
Joan Jett
I leave for the show at least an hour ahead, and I do some vocal warm-ups, and that's pretty much it.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.

Vegan With A Vengeance is on my kitchen shelf. This fun and creative book is delicious for people like me, who don’t eat pets.

Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
Joan Jett
God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person.
Joan Jett
I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.

Beyond just writing about falling in love and out of love and wanting to do certain things and going out and partying and all the things that I grew up writing about, I want to write about deeper things.
Joan Jett
I don't know if I miss it per se, but I do miss the fact that there just doesn't seem to be any rock 'n' roll out there anyplace. Everything does seem kind of tame. It's even hard in Manhattan to go out and find a good band to go see.
Joan Jett
I love to engage with people who come to see us.
Joan Jett
I love school. I was a great student.
Joan Jett
Women play cellos and violins in symphony orchestras. They're playing Beethoven and Bach. What do you mean they can't play rock and roll?
Joan Jett
One of the mistakes I made was believing that the rock 'n' roll genre as a genre was much more free than the whole pop or R&B scene.
Joan Jett
Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.
Joan Jett
A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.
Joan Jett
It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.
Joan Jett
If you really believe in yourself, you cannot listen to other people.
