Once I had kids, my whole attitude changed. I was like, "You make a spinal cord from scratch and we'll talk."
Pat BenatarMy most important inspirational job that I do is raising those kids. That's my job. And that's where my ambition goes. But I have a life. I'm not only their mother. I'm still who I was before, I just don't get to be it all the time.
Pat BenatarI felt I had a responsibility to do the right thing. And then I wanted to do the right thing by my family and there was no handbook.
Pat BenatarIn my early 20s, I had this idea that I was going to front a band, like Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. I didn't just want to be the chick singing ballads about somebody breaking my heart. Everyone in the business said, 'Why don't you do what Olivia Newton-Jonn and Linda Ronstadt are doing?' But I wanted to sing as a powerful female who wasn't afraid to speak her mind or be sexual.
