You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.

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.

I leave for the show at least an hour ahead, and I do some vocal warm-ups, and that's pretty much it.

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 don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

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.

I think the one-on-one gigs connecting with the fans - is the most important thing. That will help build your fan base. They'll talk about you, and word spreads. Those things are just as important as knowing how to play an E chord.

I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.
Joan Jett
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great

My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.
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
Image
Can't break free from the things that you do. I wanna walk, but I run back to you, that's why I hate myself for loving you.
Joan Jett
Image
I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.

A lot of the touring stuff has become a drag. Traveling itself is a drag. Anyone who's been to an airport knows that.
