A girl can do what she wants to do / And that's what I'm gonna do.
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
If you really believe in yourself, you cannot listen to other people.

I learned how to scream from Marc Bolan.

I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.

Joan Jett
A lot of people would say well that's not a bad reputation. you sound like a pussy and I would say yea. but I am passionate about music and being taken seriously about my music, so if you're going to mess with that, we have a problem.
Joan Jett
Radio has changed, there was a little bit of difference around the country and now that is gone and everything is uniform. That is not the only place it's happening in music, there's a lot of consolidation.
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
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
I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.
Joan Jett
I left my family, and I left my brother and sister, and I went and lived my dream. I saw everybody, but is it ever enough?
Joan Jett
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great

The media says that equality for women has arrived, but if you look around, you still don't see girls playing guitars and having success with it.
