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.

More quotes by Joan Jett
A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.
Joan Jett
If you are having trouble making a chord, get a book, that is how I learned. There are guitar tuning apps so you can tune your guitar, and just learn how to play along with your records. And it's great to be able to play along with another musician. That is like trial by fire.
Joan Jett
Just be yourself and everything will fall in line, the way it's supposed to be. If you're yourself, that's the best thing you can do, because you can never go damn if I'd only been myself. Live an authentic life and you don't have to worry about your reputation.
Joan Jett
We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
Joan Jett
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
Joan Jett
I know music is subjective.
Joan Jett
When you write songs you're commenting on love, you're commenting on sex, relationships, whatever it is that you decide to write about it. And I've wanted to write about politics or spiritual ideas for years.
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
I love school. I was a great student.
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
I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.
Joan Jett
I feel like it's my job to carry the torch.
Joan Jett
I tend to keep my private life private. I think it's important to have mystique. It's important to keep people thinking and guessing, and you want everyone to think you're singing to them.
Joan Jett
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.
Joan Jett
I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.
Joan Jett
Anyone who wants to know who I am can just read my lyrics - I've always written about who I am.
Joan Jett
A lot of the touring stuff has become a drag. Traveling itself is a drag. Anyone who's been to an airport knows that.
Joan Jett
I consider that success for anything, whether it's being a musician or a writer. As long as you can support yourself, you're successful. People need to change their idea of what success is.
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
The Runaways' audience was 90 percent male. That was kind of depressing...Why don't women-our own gender-come out and support us?
