More quotes by Joan Jett
Even though everybody's lives are different, in general we're all human beings, and we go through the same things: disappointments, the pleasures of life, life and death. That's always been a really big part of the show to me, making sure the audience feels connected, and that carries through to the album.
Joan Jett
I think it's important to have mystique.
Joan Jett
Just be yourself and everything will fall in line, the way it's supposed to be. If you're yourself, that's the best thing you can do, because you can never go damn if I'd only been myself. Live an authentic life and you don't have to worry about your reputation.
Joan Jett
I don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!
Joan Jett
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 songs I've recorded are songs I write.
Joan Jett
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
Anyone who wants to know who I am can just read my lyrics - I've always written about who I am.
Joan Jett
If you really believe in yourself, you cannot listen to other people.
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
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.
Joan Jett
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.
Joan Jett
You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.
Joan Jett
The better your base is, and the more you know from experience, the better off you'll be when you try and make the big move.
Joan Jett
Being the first is kind of dirty, and it's great
Joan Jett
I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.
Joan Jett
Get a book, so you know where to put your fingers. Otherwise it would be tough to learn. Also you have to fight through getting callouses on your fingers because it hurts, you are pressing your fingers on metal strings, they will hurt at first until you start building up callouses.
Joan Jett
I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.
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
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.
