I tend to keep my private life private. I think it's important to have mystique. It's important to keep people thinking and guessing, and you want everyone to think you're singing to them.

Joan Jett
Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.
Joan Jett
I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.
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
It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.
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
I feel like it's my job to carry the torch.
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.
Joan Jett
I leave for the show at least an hour ahead, and I do some vocal warm-ups, and that's pretty much it.
