Joan Jett Quotes


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

I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.

I'm having fun opening up. Sort of struggling to get the audience into it. It's good. It makes you fight. Not fight like antagonistic. But fight for what you believe.

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

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 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.

We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.

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.

Why there aren't people out there willing to have fun playing rock 'n' roll. I just don't get it.

You got nothing to lose. You don't lose when you lose fake friends.

You know I don't care if the world thinks I'm smart or not.

You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.
