Sandy West: Self

Quotes 

• Sandy West : I had to shove a gun down someone's throat once and watch them shit their pants. And then you look around and you go, 'I just wanted to be a drummer in a rock band. I just wanted to be out on the road with Joan, and Lita, and Cherie, and you, and you know, just having fun. Like the good old days.'

• Sandy West : I remember the decision of me and Lita splitting apart from Joan and Toby, and that was pretty mind boggling. It's like the, the band disbanded. It hurt. And I was really apart of looking out for these girls, and watching them grow up and growing up with them. So when all that ripping and tearing went on, my heart was ripping and tearing. And that's when you, uh, you find yourself feeling... lost. Where do I go? Where do I fit in? What do I do? How do I do it, how do I go about it? And when it hits you, it's really hard. All the sudden there's nothing. You got nothing. And you felt like you had everything and you're happy. It's the way things were... And then there's nothing.

• Sandy West : I don't think it ever should have happened. I don't think The Runaways should have ever broken up. Broke up. Because, we were the most awesome band. And it hurts more than anything. That band could have kept on going. And I think it's because of really fucked up people were involved and it wasn't us. It was those other assholes that wanted to manipulate and control and uh, tear us apart. Why? Greed? Greed is an ugly thing. Power is an ugly thing. Jealousy is a very ugly thing. No reason that band should have broke up. Why? I ask you, why? I ask everybody, why? I'm asking the girls, why? And I don't know what kind of feeling it left in your guts but it left me, I mean I love Runaways, but I'm still broken up about it. You know, people through my life, 'Just get over it, that's in your past... '
