Quotes
-
Self - Guitarist : We didn't know what we were doing. In the punk scene it was like, great, you don't know what you're doing, just fuckin' do it.
-
Self - Guitarist : It was everything I'd been looking for since I had started playing. I'm an only child and it was just me and my Mom when I was raised. I really liked the idea of a band being a family. Right away, I just felt like these are gonna be my sisters.
-
Self - Guitarist : It became a difficult place to be; because, I always wanted to put out fires. Somebody's not happy, you know, fix this. Fix, fix, fix, you know. And have fun! No matter how miserable everyone is. Have fun!

Self - Guitarist : We were in Atlanta and Sting came in the dressing room. He's got champagne. "Congratulations, girls." We're looking at him like: what? He said, "Your record has passed ours."
Self - Lead Guitar : [embarrassingly] They were number six and we went to number one.
Self - Rhythm Guitar : They brought us champagne. We thought it to be very gentlemanly of them to do that - and not kick us off the tour.

Self - Guitarist : As angry as I was when they broke up the band, I missed them. Nobody really knows what that felt like to be in the Go-Go's. Only four other people know what that feels like. And that's the bond. Nothing has happened so bad that it overshadows that.
