I don't know, I don't pay attention to critics anyway. They either like me or they don't, you know what I mean? I am too long in the tooth to worry about that.

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.

Faith is full force.

Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.

In moments of uncertainty...i mmerse yourself in the life you would be most proud to live.

I know very few young people, but it seems to me that they are all possessed with an almost fatal hunger for permanence.

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records. And I wanted everything that went along with it.

As a universal history of philosophy, the history of philosophy must become one great unity.

I've never heard of a situation where, because somebody had a particular political belief, they didn't get a part. I think it's a bit of a myth.

Politics is not an issue whether you like or dislike , but every citizen must involve.

Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.

Beauty is not beauty without love.
