More quotes by Joan Jett
You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.
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
People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do.
Joan Jett
God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person.
Joan Jett
I wouldn't say no to other kinds of musical opportunities. I guess that it just depends on what it was or what it required me to do, and if I felt that it compromised my own soul.
Joan Jett
We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
Joan Jett
You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.
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
Success isn't one straight line - it's a ladder, and there's always another rung above you to reach out for. Like anything else, there are ups and downs.
Joan Jett
A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.
Joan Jett
I learned how to scream from Marc Bolan.
Joan Jett
I think it's important to have mystique.
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
I know music is subjective.
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
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
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
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
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 love school. I was a great student.
