Now, the Queen of Rock N' Roll...
Joan Jett!
Q: Why don't you do autograph sessions anymore at local record stores or rock shops?
A: We will as soon as a new record comes out and we're on a regular touring schedule.
Q: How do you usually spend the holidays - with family and friends or alone?
A: With family and friends or working!
Q: When did you consider yourself to be a success?
A: The first time, just having a band, The Runaways, that was touring and recording. Second time I guess when "I Love Rock N' Roll" was such a big hit and the hits that followed.
Q: What do you do on a 'normal' day at home?
A: Read, ride my bike, or some sort of exercise. I try not to watch too much television, I'm starting to paint; play my guitar, do some reading, and lounging in general.
Q: Do you do any kind of physical training like jogging every morning? How do you stay in shape?
A: I don't do any exercise consistently day after day, but I do ride my bike, jog sometimes and toning.
Q: What is your opinion of Lisa Marie Presley starting a music career?
A: I have no opinion. More power to her.
Q: Is the T-Bird you drive in the "Little Liar" video yours or was it just rented for the video shoot?
A: Not mine--just for the video shoot.
Q: Would you please print some childhood photographs of yourself in the fan club newsletter?
A: I'd like a photo of myself as a child!
Q: When you are on the road, where do you like to eat?
A: You usually don't have much choice. I don't like to eat a big meal before the show, so any decent meal or restaurant has to be late afternoon. Then I don't eat till a couple hours after the show. Usually breakfast food. I like seafood restaurants.
Q: Where do you shop to find your cloths and jewelry?
A: Absolutely anywhere's fair game. Some things are made for me.
Q: What do you sleep in?
A: Use your imagination.
Q: Do you mind if people take pictures of you without asking permission?
A: It's kinda weird because the objective of the photographer is to get you relaxed, guard down. But not asking can have the opposite effect. Also, a lot depends on the situation.
Q: What kind of baseball bat do you use -- size and weight?
A: Wood -- it's hard to remember ounces and inches!
Q: Can you cook? If so, what type of food do you like to prepare?
A: Yes, I'll attempt almost anything I'd eat. Fish, veggies, pasta sauce -- everything with fresh herbs.
Q: If there were another change in the Blackheart line-up, would you consider a female for the position?
A: Always possible.
