More quotes by 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
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
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.
Joan Jett
Being onstage is everything thats good about life.
Joan Jett
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.
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
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
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
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
Joan Jett
You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.
Joan Jett
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye.
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
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
I don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!
Joan Jett
It's easier to sit there and say you don't like feminists because they don't have a sense of humor.
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
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
The Runaways' audience was 90 percent male. That was kind of depressing...Why don't women-our own gender-come out and support us?
Joan Jett
Even though everybody's lives are different, in general we're all human beings, and we go through the same things: disappointments, the pleasures of life, life and death. That's always been a really big part of the show to me, making sure the audience feels connected, and that carries through to the album.
Joan Jett
We always play clubs. It's not something that I feel above. Those are my favorite shows because they're intimate, they're tight, their sweaty, they're hot. You're close to the people. Those are my favorites.
Joan Jett
