I think the thing is we really have a great time playing on stage. I think that people really feel that. So I guess we put on a good show.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I saw Blondie open for the Ramones, and I remember being really impressed by Debbie Harry and her awkwardness.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Being in a band is being punk, no matter what. You have to dedicate your life to it.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We didn't necessarily write about women's rights or talk about it. We were just doing it.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
It wasn't much fun being Charlotte Go-Go. I like being Charlotte Caffey better.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
In the old days I never thought about money - but then, of course, the clothes were so ugly in the '80s there was nothing I wanted.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Having a kid is getting a certain kind of freedom in a way because you can't be self-obsessed anymore.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I'm only speaking for myself, but having a kid has put everything else in my life in perspective.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I still love playing live, and I love doing records, but writing songs is my main thing.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We don't necessarily want to do a biopic. Mostly because it's like, 'Big deal. Band gets together and gets big. Then the excesses come and they fall apart.'
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We're a band and we just happen to be chicks, that's the way we've always thought of ourselves.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We were up for a Grammy, we sold millions of records and we toured the world I don't know how many times. It was insane.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Back in 1981, the chances of a punk-rock girl band from L.A. doing what we did was completely nil.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We were the first all-girl band that wrote and played our own stuff. You know, the odds were really against us because rock has traditionally been dominated by men.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
The worst thing about the music business is the business part of it. Business has nothing whatever to do with writing, playing and performing.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We were approached by Alison Ellwood about the idea of doing a documentary. At first, we were a bit nervous because we didn't want it come across as a salacious 'Behind The Music' kind of thing. Alison did such a great job. It really puts perspective on things.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
No one has done what we've done. We're the first female band to have a No. 1 record.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
The odds were against us being an all-female garage band from California.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
There was something about the chemistry of the band and we would feed off each other. It was a gang of girls unleashed.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
My whole world up until punk was this total repressed Catholic lifestyle.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I don't think we fully understood what the implications could be when we found out we were doing 'SNL.'
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
The freedom of punk really appealed to me because I came from the rules and regulations of studying classical piano.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
It's like our little thing: you can take the girl out of the punk, but you can't take the punk out of the girl.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
No one told us what to wear, what to write, what to play. When they tried to, we shot 'em down easily.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I'm working in theater. I did not grow up loving or even knowing anything about it, except for 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and 'Tommy.' But I love it. It's such a great collaborative thing.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
We had that horrible experience with 'Behind the Music' where they just made it all salacious. That's not about the band - that's a soap opera. If you're together with a spouse or a partner for 40 years, you're going to have arguments. But if you're with four other people, you're going have exponentially that many more things happen.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Here's the thing about The Go-Go's: Onstage, any moment could be a total train wreck.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
People at the record labels were like, 'We don't want to sign you, you're girls' - sexist, ridiculous nonsense.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I ran to get my cassette recorder and sang 'We Got the Beat' into the recorder to document it. I knew I had written something special. It took two minutes. I didn't labor on the lyrics. It's a simple song, which goes back to the '60s, when I had my ears glued to the radio for the Stones, the Beatles, and the Beach Boys.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I didn't know how to play lead guitar. There was a freedom in not knowing how to do it.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
There's definitely sadness happening in this band. I get melancholy every day about things.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
I've lived kind of a sad-happy life. It's like, every time you take a breath, it's heavy, but on the outside you're like a clown family traveling along the universe.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
To all musicians - forget gender - to all musicians, it's about - do what makes you happy. Just go for it, you know?
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Look; being in this band, of course it would be great, yeah. But, I mean, I don't live and breathe every minute of every day thinking like, 'Oh, my God. We have to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.'
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Oh, everything we did was completely organic - from the way we looked to the way we sounded, the way we played - everything.
Quote by -Charlotte Caffey
Legendary photographer Annie Leibowitz persuaded us to pose in our underwear. When the magazine hit the stands we were horrified to see the caption 'Go-Go's Put Out.' Regardless, I was extremely excited to see us at every newsstand on every corner, our faces on the cover of 'Rolling Stone!'
