Jett: "If you really believe in yourself, you cannot listen to other people."

Jett: "Other people will call me a rebel, but I just feel like I'm living my life and doing what I want to do. Sometimes people call that rebellion, especially when you're a woman."

Jett: "I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years."

Jett: "Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together."

Jett: "People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do."

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, 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."

Jett: "I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records."

Jett: "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."

Jett: "My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be."

Jett: "I think I was born strong-willed. That's 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."

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

Jett: "I'm 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."

Jett: "My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am."

Jett: "The follow your dreams thing is really important because so many people are railroaded into taking other paths by their family, their friends, people who should be supportive going, 'What are you talking about?' Even just seemingly regular career paths, but if it's not what people expect for you they kind of react funny."

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 women's rules."

Jett: "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."

Jett: "I think it's important to have mystique."

Jett: "I wouldn't say no to other kinds of musical opportunities. I guess that it just depends on what it was or what it required me to do, and if I felt that it compromised my own soul."

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

Jett: "I remember times when I was at shows and the person onstage locked eyes with me. And in that moment, everything was right with the world. I think that's part of my job, to create these thousands of moments every night. And for the rest of their life, they can say, 'You guys looked at me,' or 'You sweated on me,' or 'I got your gum.'"

Jett: "I've always got something to say."
