I used to buy scented poetry books on tour and read aloud to the band. Not what you'd expect, huh?

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.

There is no present or future-only the past, happening over and over again-now.

Take hold of your passing time and convert it into living your dreams.

Every morning is a big, bright, window that opens just for you to fill your life with the light of joy.

Wonder is a bulky emotion. When you let it fill your heart and mind, there isn't room for anxiety, distress or anything else.

Never was strumpet faire.

Teaching art is a shared experience. Our ability to share our own personal vision and interact with others through art can become realized.

farewell' is a monster among words, and never yet sounded kindly in any ear.

I love to laugh and well, who doesn't?

I would want to travel the world and write about it. To be a famous writer.

Do I like to write? Why? About what? Will I give up and say, "Living and feeding a man's insatiable guts and begetting children occupies my whole life. Don't have time to write"?
