Quotes:

Darby Crash: I love those who do not know how to live, except in perishing, for they are those that go beyond. I love the great despiser's, because they are the great adorers. They are arrows longing for the other shore. I love those who do not seek beyond the stars for a reason to parish and be sacrifice; but who sacrifice themselves to earth in order that earth may some day become... supermans. Tell me, my brothorin, if the goal be lacking to humanity is not humanity itself lacking; it is time for man to mark his goal. It is time for man to plant his germ of his highest hope.

Darby Crash: Everything works in circles. Like sometimes you're doing something, and a year later you're back at the same point. You understand that? So circle one, is what we're doing now, and someday we'll probably do circle two.

Darby Crash: I just made Robby the drummer for The Germs.::Pat Smear: We can't play with Rob.::Darby Crash: I know.::Pat Smear: Oh, so you're not just killing yourself, you're killing our band. Darby, The Germs are the only thing any of us have really cared about...::Darby Crash: The Germs are dead, Pat. And you know that.

Famous quotes by Joan Jett:

"[After both races were complete, Jett and her band performed for the crowd.] I run a little but I couldn't quite keep up with these people, ... doing a lot of pushups and staying busy."

"No ones immune now, to a world of problems. No ones exempt now, from a world of pain!"

"I know who you are, and I am not impressed."

"Girls have got balls. They're just a little higher up that's all."

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

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

"You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony."

"God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person."

"Anyone who wants to know who I am can just read my lyrics - I've always written about who I am."

"My job is intense. It's very physical."

"Women are still second-class citizens."

"When you're onstage and the audience is smiling and singing and bopping along and you're all on the same level, it's the best feeling in the world. It may sound dumb and corny to say it, but it's like pure love."

"Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren't 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."

"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 women's rules."

"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 bought one of those Learn How to Play Guitar Chords By Yourself and it shows you the diagram where to put your hands and I took that in my room, sat with my singles and learned how to play guitar."

"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."

"Beyond just writing about falling in love and out of love and wanting to do certain things and going out and partying and all the things that I grew up writing about, I want to write about deeper things."

"You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing."

"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."
