“As far as inspired me, I really loved the Runaways. I wanted to be in the Runaways.” - Belinda Carlisle, The Justin Root Show, 10/9/2018

“I remember listening to an interview the Go-Gos did where Belinda brought up me and the Runaways as influences. I was shocked because we'd been completely forgotten at that point. It was nice to get that little shot in the arm at that time in my life and I still appreciate it to this day.” - Cherie Currie, Vogue, 8/4/2020
