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

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.

It's nice to hear when someone gets something and the sincerity is enough to tickle you. They can have the wrong notes but the essence of it is there, so it makes you laugh, because even when Frank [Zappa]'s music is sad, it makes me laugh.

Musicians more than most people are in the moment. That's the dual nature of that job.

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.

I don't think there's a problem with people discovering the music unless there's no way to get to them. That's the problem that you always have.

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.
