When you have a single composer writing his work, it shouldn't be doled out in singles based on the length of a piece.

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.

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.

Frank [Zappa] always wanted to do a sound library - he sampled so many great musicians. For piano, for example, he sampled every octave, not just one (that you could just transpose electronically), and he did all different types of attack, with and without pedals, all that kind of stuff.

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.
