“I went to see the Go-Go's on a Saturday night in '78 and had the best time. I was so serious about the way I played but they were having a blast. They weren't quite ready, but man there was something special. The girls just needed someone to push 'em a little and I eventually pushed.”

“Money, ego and drugs - that's what caused the demise of our band.”

“We used to be such prima donnas.”

“All these years later there's still something magical when we play. Who would've thought when we started out that 40 years later we'd still be together and people would still be interested.”

“It wouldn't be in the typical fashion of the Go-Go's that anything isn't a struggle.”

“Things have never been easy for us, from the beginning.”

“The girls are such a part of my life. When times are tough, we sort of pull together as like a family does - not always liking each other, but certainly love each other at the end of the day.”

“We always thought if 'Beauty and the Beat' sold even 100,000 copies, we'd be real happy and a successful group, so when it reached a million... Hey, we just laughed about it.”

“We're family, like it or not. I can't tell you how many times we were going to break up for this or that, and then something would just bring us back together.”

“We may have broken up at the height of our fame, but it was not the height of our success.”

“I always want to be touring.”

“You know, I've always wanted this, to be playing music and making money and all. But, it is really weird.”

“Everybody was apprehensive about a documentary. When we're all dead and gone, we don't want to leave something that is not going to be representing the band in a true and honest way that shows everything that's important.”

“When I was much younger I tried to play guitar and bass first. Drums were just the easiest thing for me to play. I picked it up really quickly.”

“Money can be pretty ugly.”

“I don't want to be in love.”

“We've had that carefree, light-hearted image of fun, fun, fun. Everyone knows it's not really like that.”

“The first album is a special one for most bands or most artists in general. The first record is your whole life, and then after that you have a couple of months to write stuff and get it for the next record.”

“We made some mistakes, but we made some great strides too. Certainly we changed the way that record labels looked at women.”

“When I left Baltimore I put everything I owned in my dad's pick-up truck and drove cross-country to make it as a rockstar in L.A.”
