Joan Jett's quotes
- [in "Budget Living" magazine, on the symbolism of two of her tattoos] The triangle on my chest represents the divinity of myself and others. The band around my arm represents the creative essence of life in a swirl of positive and negative forces.
- [asked what would people find unique about her] That I'm not mean.
- I think there's nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock 'n' roll band in your face with sweaty music and three-minute good songs.
- I don't want to lessen my own achievements, but it's just not that difficult [to play in a band]. If you're in good health and like to travel, I don't see why more women don't automatically want to do it.
- [on the recording sessions for "And Now... The Runaways"] I had a funny feeling I was about to get fired from a band that I helped create.
- [asked to respond to derogatory comments about her guitar skills by Ted Nugent] Ted Nugent has to live with being Ted Nugent. He has to be in that body. So that's punishment enough.
