Disharmony is natural in any band.

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.

People like to tear you down. People are always going to take shots. You've just got to go for it.
Joan Jett
Image
We always play clubs. It's not something that I feel above. Those are my favorite shows because they're intimate, they're tight, their sweaty, they're hot. You're close to the people. Those are my favorites.

If you are gonna live your life, just try to not be crazy, have fun but have some focus and some purpose and try to know what that is. If you don't know now, try to figure it out.

Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.

I think I look better in darker clothes. And maybe the fact that I wear black so much makes me more aware of putting people at ease.

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.
