I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don’t know. Joan Jett Read Quote

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, it’s catchy, and you’ve got a little bit of help, I think that’s all you need. But there hasn’t been that in music. Joan Jett Read Quote
Aggressive, tough and defiant may describe me, but that leaves the impression I’m mean and I’m not. People expect me to have fangs. Joan Jett Read Quote
