We'll just play it cool, like Elvis at 19.

We live and learn from our mistakes, the deepest cuts are healed by faith.

People's lives change dramatically over such a long time period, and I think that if you're still vital, and you're still interested in writing and things like that, of course your music evolves and reflects where you are in your life.
Pat Benatar
It's really hard to make records and concentrate and have a free mind, because I have this whole other life. If you don't have kids it's a whole other thing. I think you can be fifty and still have a rock and roll lifestyle you can still perpetuate that.

I've enjoyed every age I've been, and each has had its own individual merit. Every laugh line, every scar, is a badge I wear to show I've been present, the inner rings of my personal tree trunk that I display proudly for all to see. Nowadays, I don't want a perfect face and body I want to wear the life I've lived.

Of course, you're not making records in a vacuum. I'm not making them for myself. It would be nice if I could get more people to hear them. But if I have to sell my soul to the devil to do it, I won't.

I spent most of my adult life as someone's mother and the rest of my life trying to make sure that children are safe. So this to me is - we wrote Hell Is For Children in 1979.

Love is more than a one way reflection, stop using sex as a weapon.

I don't know who it is, probably some geek - said that when a female gets to a certain age, all her sexuality goes. She's not a vital person anymore. If you're somebody's mother you're not vital. This is such crap, because you're still a person. You still have all the things that you came into childbearing with and all that kind of stuff.

I love Heartbreaker. Heartbreaker stands up for me still. It still works to me. The sentiment is still timely and it just works. But I don't want to do that again. I'm not interested in re-creating that. That was great and I'll just leave it there.
Pat Benatar
I felt I had a responsibility to do the right thing. And then I wanted to do the right thing by my family and there was no handbook.

I like Lady Gaga because I like that she pushes the envelope.
Pat Benatar
I have different reasons for the way that I react to things now that I have kids. It's not about me, it's about my children going out into this world that makes me say, What the hell are you all doing? I have to put them out there, and then I have to worry.

Most chick-singers say If you hurt me, I'll die... I say, if you hurt me, I'll kick your ass.

There are so many young women coming up through the ranks. Adele is an amazing singer. Beyonce has great stage presence. She's just a beautiful woman. I love how everyone has just taken charge of their lives and careers.

My most important inspirational job that I do is raising those kids. That's my job. And that's where my ambition goes. But I have a life. I'm not only their mother. I'm still who I was before, I just don't get to be it all the time.
Pat Benatar
Everything changes all the time, and unfortunately, everyone who knows what you do by buying records only hears a small amount of what's going on in your life.

Love is a battlefield.

If at any moment of the day I ever think I'm remotely cool at all, which is hardly ever, I have two daughters who make sure that never happens.

Once I had kids, my whole attitude changed. I was like, You make a spinal cord from scratch and we'll talk.
