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.

More quotes by 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
When I met you you were oh so sweet, now you give me the bread and you take all the meat.
Joan Jett
I'm having fun opening up. Sort of struggling to get the audience into it. It's good. It makes you fight. Not fight like antagonistic. But fight for what you believe.
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.
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
Women play cellos and violins in symphony orchestras. They're playing Beethoven and Bach. What do you mean they can't play rock and roll?
Joan Jett
Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together.
Joan Jett
I love school. I was a great student.
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
It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.
Joan Jett
You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.
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'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.
Joan Jett
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
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
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 know music is subjective.
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
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.
Joan Jett
Happiness doesn't necessarily lie in material things. You just have to put yourself in a position to be happy. If you can do what you love for a living, that's a good start.
Joan Jett
