More quotes by Joan Jett

Joan Jett
I know music is subjective.
Joan Jett
Vegan With A Vengeance is on my kitchen shelf. This fun and creative book is delicious for people like me, who don’t eat pets.
Joan Jett
I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.

It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.
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
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
Joan Jett
Something happens, you can't even put your finger on it, and then you don't quite feel the same way anymore. All of a sudden, there's fights or something and you are going who is this person? I've seen this happen to other people and it has happened to me.
Joan Jett
The thing I get out of it is the connection. I remember going to shows as a kid and meeting eyes with the people in the band, and knowing they are meeting eyes with you, and that moment, that smile, and that's your moment. I want to create millions of little moments for other people.
Joan Jett
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.
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
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
Performance-wise, you really need to be down in the trenches you need to do the hard work, for a lot of reasons: To build yourself as a performer, to get a sense of the audience, to work hard and to wonder, 'Do I really want to do this?'
Joan Jett
Well before I was in a band, I wanted to be everything from a vet, an astronaut, an archeologist was a big one. It could be very wide-ranging because I had a lot of different interests including music so I'm very happy where I wound up.
Joan Jett
We all make judgments on people, but some are much more brutal than others. It's easy to say, 'Ya know, I'm not crazy about what she's wearing,' but you don't have to be nasty about it, and you don't have to be public about it.
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.
Joan Jett
Women play cellos and violins in symphony orchestras. They're playing Beethoven and Bach. What do you mean they can't play rock and roll?
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
So now 20 years later people want us to get together so they can take shots at all these old babes trying to get back some youth. I mean come on I've been there. I know what the press would do.
Joan Jett
