As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it.

The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.

Guitar is for the head, drums are for the chest, but bass gets you in the groin

I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry.

I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar.

After moving to England I did some recording and eventually formed an English band, this was together for quite a few years with only a keyboard replacement. The band had no name, just my name.

A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.

Nothing heals like love and time

Len and I had parted musical ways and this was one of the problems.

The bass and drums are the engine, and the key to good bass playing is it's not what you play, it's what you DON'T play that counts. You leave the spaces, they're more important than anything.

I feel that whatever you put out is what you'll get back. I always put out, 'hey, hi, I'm a bass player, no bullshit,' and that's what I got back. I got the respect.

Be concerned with pleasing thy Creator.

A day without your child is like a day without sunshine

Life is too precious to worry about what could or will happen. Life is..what you make it

I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.

It seems to me self-evident that if you have a life, things happen in it, and certain things do change; certain things end. People you know die.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord -

There can be many different views of what Heaven is like, because Heaven is whatever makes each person eternally and fully happy.

I don’t think there’s enough of her left.

It's hard to differentiate between a vision and a delusion - both cause you to see things that no one else sees.

The first impression of a work of art is its otherness from reality.
