Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together.
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.

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

The Runaways' audience was 90 percent male. That was kind of depressing...Why don't women-our own gender-come out and support us?
