People dont want to see women doing things they dont think women should do. – Joan Jett
I think I was born strong-willed. Thats not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do. – Joan Jett
I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I dont know. – Joan Jett
Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we werent able to get a record out through conventional means, so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans. – Joan Jett
Im 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. – Joan Jett
Well, Ill tell you, I dont 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
And you have a record company behind it, this is a key too, you need people to fight for your records, at least a little bit. So if you have a great song, its catchy, and youve got a little bit of help, I think thats all you need. But there hasnt been that in music. – Joan Jett
Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but were having a good time. – Joan Jett
I sure saw a lot of kids that Im sure didnt know a lot about us, or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward, wed talk about music, sign a lot of autographs. So Im sure we made a lot of new fans. – Joan Jett
I think what Im going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock n roll and do what I like to do in music. – Joan Jett
So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think its great that now, 25 years later, were not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. Thats really exciting for us. – Joan Jett
Ive done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly its the music. – Joan Jett
I think theres nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock n roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs. – Joan Jett
Rock n roll music is what gets me off. – Joan Jett
Its easier to sit there and say you dont like feminists because they dont have a sense of humor. – Joan Jett
I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but its good to be home, for sure. – Joan Jett
You follow any family around, youre going to see elation, youre going to see disharmony. – Joan Jett
The media says that equality for women has arrived, but if you look around, you still dont see girls playing guitars and having success with it. – Joan Jett
I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow womens rules. – Joan Jett
Women are still second-class citizens. – Joan Jett
