On playing Joey Ramone in The Runaways:
Living Things were going to do the music for the runaways film it didn’t end up happening but what was fun is that we learned all the songs and jammed them for Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning when they were rehearsing. It was amazing working with the girls. We’d be playing and Dakota would go kind of nuts and start screaming the lyrics—she’s an incredible actress. She’s really graceful, would show up on set with a backpack and pastel cardigan, but as soon as the music started she became Cherie Currie, super aggressive forward powerful, owning the microphone, she really really nailed it. Kristin Stewart completely nailed Joan Jett too. She’s legendary, we played at the Roxy and Floria brought Kristen and Kristen had the full on Joan Jett haircut and she had her hood up. Anyone that’s really talented has a lot of focus—Kristen a deep peace in it, even when playing a chaotic punk.
