Jane Wiedlin Quotations

I used to think when I was in the Go-Go's that we were as wild as any of the boy bands.

The whole punk scene is, of course, responsible for the Go-Go's ever getting created. Because before punk rock happened, you couldn't start a band if you didn't know how to play an instrument. But when punk happened it was like, 'Oh, it doesn't matter if you can play or not. Go ahead, make a band.' And that's exactly what the Go-Go's did.

I find acting slightly nerve racking, but I like the challenge.

What I've found - and the older I get, the more I understand this and stand behind it - is, my whole life has been an exploration of telling the truth. It's scary to be truthful, and it's scary to reveal yourself, and I'm very attracted to doing things that scare me.

I love being a Go-Go. It definitely has its ups and downs, and we have a very intense energy with each other.

If I believed in Hell, I'd definitely be going there.

Sometimes I would write something that was so private, people would say, 'Make it more universal.' I never liked that idea. I always thought the more personal a song was, the more people would want to hear it.

I've always gravitated towards songwriting that happens easily and spontaneously, because those have always been my best songs.

I love that there are beaches you can walk your dog on in San Francisco. Fort Funston is big and always packed with hundreds of dogs and their people. A great place to hike and get some exercise and fresh air with your well-mannered pup. Not recommended for antisocial dogs; there's just too much commotion there.

People have always told me a lot that I remind them of Joyce DeWitt.
