Scans and Translation: Joan Jett interviewed about Kristen

Svensk översättning i slutet

In the film, his guitar teacher says that girls should not play rock. That happened?
When I was 11 or 12 years, I heard "Bang a Gong" and "All Right Now" on the radio. I really wanted to make that sound. In my first lesson, he took the figures of "On Top of Old Smokey." I walked away. And I learned to play alone.

Kristen Stewart says you taught her to put her sexuality in the way of playing guitar.
Well, the guitar fits exactly in the pelvis, and when you play a string it vibrates right on your body. It feels powerful. So when Kristen was playing and I said: "Pussy in the wood, fuck that guitar!"

She represented you well?
Yes, I asked the studio ma have a mix of her singing "I Love Playing With Fire," but when I heard she could only hear my own voice. I said, "You sent me the wrong version. I want to hear Kristen. " They said: "This is Kristen." It was perfect - no auto tune

There is a scene in the movie where you and Cherrie Currie, lead singer of the Runaways, stay together. Did you see that moment as something romantic?
I do not see how romantic in any way. Teenage girls simply connect - you see them hugging and holding hands all the time. But experimenting with sex and drugs was part of the appeal of the 70 for me. You could try new things - without being judged for it.

What do you say to those who think that there are no women in rock?
Absolutely: they are everywhere. When we play the Warped Tour, bands had girls in every city. And if the Runaways did something to inspire them to pick up an instrument, my mission is accomplished.
