Quotes 

• Self - Lead Singer : The LA punk scene - it was D.I.Y. and if you were terrible, you were cooler. And, anybody could do whatever they wanted. It was total freedom.

• Self - Lead Singer : The punk scene gave me an outlet to act out and be the bad ass that I thought I was.

• Self - Lead Singer : [talking about "Our Lips Are Sealed"]  I remember hearing that song for the first time. I was completely blown away with it. Because of Jane's not being a trained musician and writer, the chord progression in that song is so unusual - that it really got your attention.

• Self - Lead Singer : We had no idea of how important video was going to be. So, we thought, this is a big waste of time. Why are we doing this? None of us took it seriously. We wanted to get arrested - and have that on tape.

  Self - Rhythm Guitar : We decided if we jumped in the fountain, the Beverly Hills cops would come and arrest us. It would be a really great way to end the video. So, we're sitting there frolicking in the water, frolicking, frolicking, freckling.

  Self - Drummer : We jumped around in that God damn fountain for quite awhile - and nobody even paid any attention to us.

  Self - Lead Singer : You know, no one would arrest us.

  Self - Rhythm Guitar : The next thing you know, MTV, the biggest thing in America, and they're showing the Go-Go's every half hour.

• Self - Lead Singer : The machine, Go-Go machine, had to keep going.

• Self - Lead Singer : I think that the Go-Go's - if you believe in karma, there's a lot of karmic ties in this band. Just the fact we've been in each other's lives for so many years, it has to be to workout something.
