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.
Joan Jett
Image
Can't break free from the things that you do. I wanna walk, but I run back to you, that's why I hate myself for loving you.

The thing I get out of it is the connection. I remember going to shows as a kid and meeting eyes with the people in the band, and knowing they are meeting eyes with you, and that moment, that smile, and that's your moment. I want to create millions of little moments for other people.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.

Other people will call me a rebel, but I just feel like I'm living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you're a woman.
Joan Jett
Image
I'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.

It's easier to sit there and say you don't like feminists because they don't have a sense of humor.

I think it's important to have mystique.
