Joan Jett

Before I settled on music, I wanted to be an archaeologist, an astronaut, all sorts of really diverse things.

Pop music is not a threatening style of music.

I know music is subjective.

Well, I’ll tell you, I don’t 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.

I’ve done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it’s the music.

I sure saw a lot of kids that I’m sure didn’t know a lot about us, or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward, we’d talk about music, sign a lot of autographs. So I’m sure we made a lot of new fans.

I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records.

I think what I’m 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.
