While we were touring for 'Vacation,' we weren't aware that the record wasn't doing well. It was a good tour, but the album didn't go over with critics.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
A lot of it was really, really fun, but at some point, things started getting weird. We didn't allow each other to breathe. We didn't really have a sense of ourselves individually. We were very insecure... We were really threatened by the thought of 'Oh my God, what if someone goes off and does something outside the band?'
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I mean, when we put out our first album, it was 'Gosh, we really hope it sells 100,000 copies. That was the innocence.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I think it took us being apart to really understand... who we were as Individuals, outside of the Go-Go's.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We're more of a rock band and we have a punk influence and a pop influence.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We really broke down some doors for women and for musicians in general. It was just go out and form a band and don't care what anyone thinks.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
If we were all happy and getting along every second of the day, we'd probably make some schmaltzy record.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We didn't want to change who we are. We're not going to sit there and go, 'Let's be a rap band now.'
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
What's the essence of the Go-Go's? Great melodies, guitar hooks, driving drums. All of that.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Going to rehearsals was too depressing, and missing rehearsals was also depressing, so it was like a vicious circle.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We struggled for years before we got that record deal. It was tough because we were girls. People were slamming doors in our faces for years.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We were naive in a lot of ways, but that was part of the charm. We were very young.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We thought we'd last forever. Then, of course, we didn't, and that was shocking.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We're not trying to impress anybody. We're not trying to change anybody's mind. We're just out there playing, and it's something we love.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We say, 'Wow, look at Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. Their clothes were always so cool.' Maybe not Mick Jagger when he wore Spandex in the '80s.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We're definitely hanging up the touring shoes but we'll do other things. We'll do an odd gig here and there but going out and actually touring for a month or two, we're not doing that anymore.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
The energy between all the girls - we were hysterical together. That energy could go really bad and it could be so hateful and horrible, and then it could go really good and we'd write really good songs.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We were pretty crappy in the beginning. We really didn't sound that great.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
When you're on stage and you got a great audience, that makes the show that much better for the band.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
All I can say, being young people being in a band, writing songs that we felt were great... we never felt that years later we'd be selling out shows.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I wrote 'We Got the Beat,' which is a fun song, and people equate us with fun, but there's so much more to us than that.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Ah, it's awesome learning about theater, but it's a completely different musical landscape from rock and roll.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We all came to the conclusion that we have an undeniable chemistry musically, that we might not ever find again. The mix of friction and camaraderie channels good songs, performances and laughs.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
If we would have had clear brains to take a break, instead of breaking up, we would have left room for balance in our lives.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We would rent this old van and drive anywhere we could get in 10-to-12 hours. We scraped by with little money, but there's a lot to be said for those days. We were naive, but there was no pressure and a lot of freedom.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Actually going on tour is like the break in the year that I go away and do something different and come back.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
The '80s, no matter what kind of wacky fashion or whatever else that went on in the '80s, the songs that came out of it, there was really great songwriting, in my opinion.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We are just a rock and pop band, that's what we are. And I believe we recorded the records to feature the songs rather than it being a giant production.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We would go to photo sessions and it was just the most ridiculous stuff. It was like, 'Here, lick on these lollipops.' And we're like, 'What?!' It was horrifying. But we would laugh.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
In reality - and we've always said this - yes, we are girls, women, but, first and foremost, we're musicians and we're songwriters.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
It's amazing, seeing people of all different ages singing lyrics to songs we wrote when we were so young and thought we knew everything.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day always says we were influences on him, because he does melodic but distorted, like what we were doing. The Ramones were doing it. We were doing it. The Buzzcocks, all those bands.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We did three records in three years and I don't know how many world tours, and we were just in our early 20s. And then we imploded.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
In the year after we signed with I.R.S. we made a record, started our own tour, toured with the Police, and our record went to No. 1. It was insane.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We were a bonded group of girls, and it was us against the world and us against the odds.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
In some ways, we were very innocent. And in other ways, we were just rock 'n' roll girls on the loose.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
The Go-Go's were a frothy pop band. I wanted to do music that had a harder edge.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
One of the problems we had was trying to live up to this bubbly image. All the music was supposed to be bubbly. That's what people expected from us. But that was very limiting.
