More quotes by Joan Jett
I'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.
Joan Jett
The better your base is, and the more you know from experience, the better off you'll be when you try and make the big move.
Joan Jett
I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.
Joan Jett
I think what people see in me is one slice of who I am. It does permeate my life in the sense that I don't like to be told what to do, or how to be, or how I can do it. But I'm probably a lot tamer than people would expect.
Joan Jett
Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.
Joan Jett
A lot of people would say well that's not a bad reputation. you sound like a pussy and I would say yea. but I am passionate about music and being taken seriously about my music, so if you're going to mess with that, we have a problem.
Joan Jett
I feel like it's my job to carry the torch.
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
So now 20 years later people want us to get together so they can take shots at all these old babes trying to get back some youth. I mean come on I've been there. I know what the press would do.
Joan Jett
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.
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
So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it's great that now, 25 years later, we're not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. That's really exciting for us.
Joan Jett
I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.
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.
Joan Jett
A lot of people ask me why I don't expand and explore other musical areas, but I like the plain three- and four-chord rock-and-roll that I call the the semi-blues.
Joan Jett
It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.
Joan Jett
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.
Joan Jett
My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.
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 know music is subjective.
Joan Jett
