More quotes by Joan Jett
I'd like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.
Joan Jett
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.

We all make judgments on people, but some are much more brutal than others. It's easy to say, 'Ya know, I'm not crazy about what she's wearing,' but you don't have to be nasty about it, and you don't have to be public about it.
Joan Jett
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.

Women play cellos and violins in symphony orchestras. They're playing Beethoven and Bach. What do you mean they can't play rock and roll?

We always play clubs. It's not something that I feel above. Those are my favorite shows because they're intimate, they're tight, their sweaty, they're hot. You're close to the people. Those are my favorites.
Joan Jett
Well, I'll tell you, I don't know how aware teenagers are of me. I think it really depends on the teenager and how well-versed in music they are and what kind of music they like.
Joan Jett
If you really believe in yourself, you cannot listen to other people.
Joan Jett
You got nothing to lose. You don't lose when you lose fake friends.
Joan Jett
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye.
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
A lot of the touring stuff has become a drag. Traveling itself is a drag. Anyone who's been to an airport knows that.
Joan Jett
I wouldn't say no to other kinds of musical opportunities. I guess that it just depends on what it was or what it required me to do, and if I felt that it compromised my own soul.
Joan Jett
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
Joan Jett
We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
Joan Jett
Happiness doesn't necessarily lie in material things. You just have to put yourself in a position to be happy. If you can do what you love for a living, that's a good start.
Joan Jett
You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.
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.
