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.

God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person.
Joan Jett
Image
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
Image
I don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!
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.

One of the mistakes I made was believing that the rock 'n' roll genre as a genre was much more free than the whole pop or R&B scene.

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.

So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it's great that now, 25 years later, we're not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. That's really exciting for us.

I'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.

I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.

My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.

You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.
Joan Jett
Image
Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.
Joan Jett
Image
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
Image
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.

I love to engage with people who come to see us.

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.

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.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.

If you are having trouble making a chord, get a book, that is how I learned. There are guitar tuning apps so you can tune your guitar, and just learn how to play along with your records. And it's great to be able to play along with another musician. That is like trial by fire.

A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.
