“Look; being in this band, of course it would be great, yeah. But, I mean, I don't live and breathe every minute of every day thinking like, 'Oh, my God. We have to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.'”

“What's the essence of the Go-Go's? Great melodies, guitar hooks, driving drums. All of that.”

“We are just a rock and pop band, that's what we are. And I believe we recorded the records to feature the songs rather than it being a giant production.”

“We are just the most twisted, sick, hilarious people that I know.”

“Here's the thing about The Go-Go's: Onstage, any moment could be a total train wreck.”

“While we were touring for 'Vacation,' we weren't aware that the record wasn't doing well. It was a good tour, but the album didn't go over with critics.”

“In reality - and we've always said this - yes, we are girls, women, but, first and foremost, we're musicians and we're songwriters.”

“I daydream about romance and stuff.”

“No one has done what we've done. We're the first female band to have a No. 1 record.”

“We had that horrible experience with 'Behind the Music' where they just made it all salacious. That's not about the band - that's a soap opera. If you're together with a spouse or a partner for 40 years, you're going to have arguments. But if you're with four other people, you're going have exponentially that many more things happen.”

“The spirit of the Go-Go's is fun.”

“Being in a band with guys didn't feel like what I should be doing.”

“We were the first all-girl band that wrote and played our own stuff. You know, the odds were really against us because rock has traditionally been dominated by men.”

“I love working with artists who know exactly what they want.”

“We really broke down some doors for women and for musicians in general. It was just go out and form a band and don't care what anyone thinks.”

“I've lived kind of a sad-happy life. It's like, every time you take a breath, it's heavy, but on the outside you're like a clown family traveling along the universe.”

“Personally speaking, I think the Beatles were our biggest influence.”

“We were anything but 'America's sweethearts.' On the inside we were total sassy rebels.”

“When you're on stage and you got a great audience, that makes the show that much better for the band.”

“I'm only speaking for myself, but having a kid has put everything else in my life in perspective.”
