"A tomboy and a pretty good student, Belinda [Carlisle] was part of the track and field team in her high school days. Her feminine side was displayed while bopping around in her cheerleading outfit, while she showed a boyish side as she played sports with the guys in her neighborhood. Although she was awarded a scholarship for her athleticism, she didn't go off to college after graduation. Instead, she moved to Hollywood and started a punk band."—unknown author

"I never liked jewelry growing up. My mom was a very feminine woman and she wore hearts and pink stones, but I was always sort of a tomboy. For me, the appeal is being able to wear jewelry but not having it be prissy." —Pamela Love

"We went on a weekend drive, after a show I was in at the time. We were on a motorcycle, and there was a carload of friends behind us. It was freezing ass cold. We stopped for a bite to eat, and one of the guys said, ‘Steve, why don’t you let Neile ride with us? I can ride with you. It’s too cold.’ And I said, ‘No, I think I’m just gonna stay on the bike.’ Steve told me later, ‘That’s the moment I fell in love with you.' "—Neile Adams

"To me, someone walking down the street in head to toe Gucci says to me they have no imagination and lots of money. That's not blowing my mind. It's more about who you are rather than what you wear. Your personality's gotta be bigger than your outfit."—Alison Mosshart
