More quotes by Joan Jett
The follow your dreams thing is really important because so many people are railroaded into taking other paths by their family, their friends, people who should be supportive going, 'What are you talking about?' Even just seemingly regular career paths, but if it's not what people expect for you they kind of react funny.

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.

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
I remember times when I was at shows and the person onstage locked eyes with me. And in that moment, everything was right with the world. I think that's part of my job, to create these thousands of moments every night. And for the rest of their life, they can say, 'You guys looked at me,' or 'You sweated on me,' or 'I got your gum.'
Joan Jett
My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.

When I came back to it, we amicably separated from Warner Bros. I just picked up where I left off, trying to write the rest of this record. It took awhile to get out.

God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person.

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
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
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.
Joan Jett
Well, I'll tell you, I don't know how aware teenagers are of me. I think it really depends on the teenager and how well-versed in music they are and what kind of music they like.
Joan Jett
I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.
Joan Jett
Egotistical people are not pretty. We all know that, I'm sure everybody knows an egotistical person someplace.
Joan Jett
In pop music, you say, 'You can do what you want to me.' Rock 'n' roll says, 'I'm gonna do what I want to you.'
Joan Jett
People like to tear you down. People are always going to take shots. You've just got to go for it.
Joan Jett
I bought one of those Learn How to Play Guitar Chords By Yourself and it shows you the diagram where to put your hands and I took that in my room, sat with my singles and learned how to play guitar.
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 don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!
Joan Jett
Get a book, so you know where to put your fingers. Otherwise it would be tough to learn. Also you have to fight through getting callouses on your fingers because it hurts, you are pressing your fingers on metal strings, they will hurt at first until you start building up callouses.
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.
