Life's Pleasures Quote by Lita Ford

"We've got horse property and there's other stuff to do. Like, four wheel driving, we barbeque, drink beers, sit around and play guitars and have a merry 'ol time"

About this Quote

This is the sound of rock stardom refusing to be mythologized. Lita Ford isn’t selling a fantasy of excess so much as a counter-fantasy: the offstage life as a stubbornly ordinary, sunburnt kind of freedom. The list is the point. “Horse property,” “four wheel driving,” “barbeque,” “drink beers,” “play guitars” stacks up like a catalog of tactile pleasures, the stuff you can touch and do with your hands. It’s a deliberate re-centering of identity away from celebrity spectacle and toward chosen community.

The diction does quiet work. “We’ve got” implies partnership and a shared household, not a lone guitar hero narrative. “There’s other stuff to do” shrugs at the idea that fame is the main event; it’s a deflation of the industry’s obsession with performance as life. Even the loose, conversational rhythm - “Like,” “merry ’ol time” - signals authenticity as a posture, but also as a defense: if you keep it casual, nobody can turn it into a brand without looking ridiculous.

Context matters: Ford came up in a scene that routinely sexualized women and treated them as either mascots or anomalies. This quote subtly reclaims agency by defining a life that’s not organized around being watched. It’s not anti-ambition; it’s pro-control. The subtext is simple and pointed: I decide what the good life looks like, and it doesn’t require anyone’s permission or applause.
