I don't know if I miss it per se, but I do miss the fact that there just doesn't seem to be any rock 'n' roll out there anyplace. Everything does seem kind of tame. It's even hard in Manhattan to go out and find a good band to go see.

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
When you write songs you're commenting on love, you're commenting on sex, relationships, whatever it is that you decide to write about it. And I've wanted to write about politics or spiritual ideas for years.
Joan Jett
Beyond just writing about falling in love and out of love and wanting to do certain things and going out and partying and all the things that I grew up writing about, I want to write about deeper things.
Joan Jett
I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.
Joan Jett
Egotistical people are not pretty. We all know that, I'm sure everybody knows an egotistical person someplace.
Joan Jett
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.
Joan Jett
I learned how to scream from Marc Bolan.
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 figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.
Joan Jett
People like to tear you down. People are always going to take shots. You've just got to go for it.
Joan Jett
Only because The Runaways were my baby and there's no reason to get it back together except to totally have fun. If that's not the goal, then I don't want to do it.
