I think the one-on-one gigs connecting with the fans - is the most important thing. That will help build your fan base. They'll talk about you, and word spreads. Those things are just as important as knowing how to play an E chord.

More quotes by 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
I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.
Joan Jett
Other people will call me a rebel, but I just feel like I'm living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you're a woman.
Joan Jett
I know music is subjective.
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
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
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
Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.
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
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
I love to engage with people who come to see 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
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
Disharmony is natural in any band.
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 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
I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.
Joan Jett
If you really believe in yourself, you cannot listen to other people.
Joan Jett
I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.
Joan Jett
Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.
