Evelyn McDonnell: The Runaways: Wild Thing. How Sandy West was lost. In: LA Weekly vom 18. März 2010. Originaltext: „Looking tough but emotional, West talks about ‚the dangerous adventures of me‘ in Tischler-Blue's 2004 documentary about the band, Edgeplay. ‚Maybe that was the self-destructive side of me. Maybe I was out to push it. I was fearless. You go down and break somebody’s door down. They’ve got guns all over you, you’ve got guns all over them. You don’t know which of you is going to get killed. […] I had to break somebody’s arm once. I had to shove a gun down somebody’s throat once and watch them shit their pants. And then you look around and you go‚ I just wanted to be a drummer in a rock band.‘“ Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways (ab 1:38:13) auf YouTube, 2004, Regie Victory Tischler-Blue.
