More quotes by Joan Jett
I think it's important to have mystique.
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 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
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
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
It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.
Joan Jett
I love school. I was a great student.
Joan Jett
Disharmony is natural in any band.
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
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
We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
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 grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.
Joan Jett
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.
Joan Jett
God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person.
Joan Jett
I learned how to scream from Marc Bolan.
Joan Jett
My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.
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
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
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.
