More quotes by Joan Jett
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
Something happens, you can't even put your finger on it, and then you don't quite feel the same way anymore. All of a sudden, there's fights or something and you are going who is this person? I've seen this happen to other people and it has happened to me.
Joan Jett
You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.
Joan Jett
A girl can do what she wants to do / And that's what I'm gonna do.
Joan Jett
I feel like it's my job to carry the torch.
Joan Jett
Being onstage is everything thats good about life.
Joan Jett
The media says that equality for women has arrived, but if you look around, you still don't see girls playing guitars and having success with it.
Joan Jett
I think it's what the times are demanding. If you're talking about the popular artists, they collaborate with a lot of different people and it seems to be in vogue now. It probably is indicative of the times.
Joan Jett
Performance-wise, you really need to be down in the trenches you need to do the hard work, for a lot of reasons: To build yourself as a performer, to get a sense of the audience, to work hard and to wonder, 'Do I really want to do this?'
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
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
Joan Jett
I left my family, and I left my brother and sister, and I went and lived my dream. I saw everybody, but is it ever enough?
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
Only because The Runaways were my baby and there's no reason to get it back together except to totally have fun. If that's not the goal, then I don't want to do it.
Joan Jett
I don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!
Joan Jett
People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do.
Joan Jett
It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.
Joan Jett
We all make judgments on people, but some are much more brutal than others. It's easy to say, 'Ya know, I'm not crazy about what she's wearing,' but you don't have to be nasty about it, and you don't have to be public about it.
Joan Jett
I love school. I was a great student.
Joan Jett
Radio has changed, there was a little bit of difference around the country and now that is gone and everything is uniform. That is not the only place it's happening in music, there's a lot of consolidation.
