Frank [Zappa] was not a big fan of having lyrics, but sometimes he had things to say that lent themselves to lyrics.

When I put out the records, when I make a distribution deal, those distributors tell me who they sell it to and how many copies. So I want nothing less.

My obligation is to release the music the way Frank [Zappa] released it.

Live concerts were to train the ears and to introduce, constantly, new musical ideas to the audience so the next time they showed up or the next record they would be ready and receptive.

I never dreamed that my future would be my husband's past. But it's such a huge past in terms of the recorded content.

It's the ultimate identity theft when you start messing with somebody's work. Thinking that you could edit the work, or mix it differently, or re-EQ it, or make claims about it that aren't true.

I think ingenuity is part of our DNA. That plus curiosity, plus the willingness to commit.
