- Kim Fowley: I love boot camp. I went into two branches of the service because I loved it so much... I was the drill sergeant and they were the recruits.
- Cherie Currie: But the bass fell and it broke, the neck snapped... and when that neck snapped, Jackie snapped.
- Jackie Fox: I needed to make a phone call... Lita wakes up and starts screaming at me to keep it down. So I kept the light off, I'm makin' this phone call. She picks up the phone and hits me in the head and tries to strangle me with the cord.
- 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.'
- Cherie Currie: I was "calling the cards" as they say, and my father walked in and said 'This is it. I'm taking you to the doctor.' It turned out I was pregnant.
- Lita Ford: [Japan] ... was the highlight of the Runaways career... we had the most audience, the most record sales... I had to buy another suitcase to bring home the stuff people had given me.
- Jackie Fox: [referring to Kim Fowley] He kicked me out of the studio and hired Nigel Harrison, who went on to be the bass player in Blondie so it's not actually me on the first album.
- 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.
- Lita Ford: At that point everybody was really in need, desperate need of a good year off, from drugs and everything. I mean, it had been five years. We were together for five years when The Runaways broke up. We started in 1975, we broke up in 1980. And uh, you know everything just kinda got so intense. Everybody was doing so many drugs and we were tired. We'd had enough.
- 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... '
- Lita Ford: When you're stuck in the middle of something, you don't see it so well. Does that make any sense?
- Mrs. West: [Sandy West's Mom] As I look back and Sandy will agree with me, I should have tied her to the bed and said, "You can't do this." But you can't really take away your children's dreams.
