Interview with Joan Jett and Kristen

here's an interview with Joan Jett and Kristen Stewart where they talk about The Runaways:

Rock chicks: Kristen, 19, and Joan, 50, have been practising The Runways music in a studio

Kristen said: 'I'm just listening to her music all the time. I'm trying to just make myself aware of the time period and what she was going through.

'It's one of the most immense responsibilities to play a real person. Her story's important. It's an incredibly triumphant feminist story really.

'She's the first woman to ever start her own record label. So many people know her as just being like one of the coolest people to ever live. That in itself is one of the most intimidating things that I've ever had to confront but she's so cool too.'

Joan is equally enthusiastic about Kristen: 'When her hair is cut and with the right make-up, Kristen should make a really good me.




Getting ready for the part: Kristen had dyed her long brown black and had it cut into a mullet

'She sounded great and played well (on the guitar). She has the passion for it, which you can't really be taught.'

The pair originally met over New Year's to discuss the film before Kristen was formally cast in the role.

The film also stars former child actor Dakota Fanning, 15, as The Runways's teenage frontwoman Cherie Currie, who was the same age as the actress when the group formed.

Joan was just 17 when she formed rock group The Runways with Cherie, Sandy West, Micki Stelle and Lita Ford in 1975.

The group went on to enjoy several hits during their five years together including Cherry Bomb and Queens of Noise.

After the Runways split in 1979 in a row over money and management, Joan formed her own band Joan Jett And The Blackhearts the following year.

Among her hits was the iconic I Love Rock And Roll, Crimson and Clover, I Hate Myself For Loving You and Little Liar.
