"Life has become serious for me, although I do like to party every now and then"
About this Quote
"Although I do like to party every now and then" works as both reassurance and boundary. Reassurance to fans who still want the Lita Ford mythos - leather, volume, midnight - and a boundary for the culture that tries to turn any maturation into a conversion narrative. She isn't confessing; she's calibrating. The phrase "every now and then" is doing heavy lifting, shrinking the party persona into a controlled, elective act rather than a lifestyle that controls her.
In context, Ford came up in a scene that sold excess as authenticity, especially for men, while treating women who participated as either novelties or cautionary tales. The line reads like a veteran's side-eye at that double standard. It's also a subtle assertion of agency: seriousness isn't capitulation, and pleasure isn't relapse. The charm is in its plainness - no grand statement, just a human adjustment - and that understatement lands harder than any packaged reinvention.
