Happiness is just a great equalizer. It's like water. You pour happiness liberally and all sorts of great things are going to happen.

I have this theory that people are actually really hungry for sonic space and understanding words, and I think that people are ready to look back and actually appreciate some of what came before. And then you really do have the entire movement that I'm just going to call feminist, because I am a feminist. I think the education of young girls and women about what came before has started and I think that the knowledge of Fanny is part of that.

I came from the Philippines and Filipinos are incredibly musical. I mean the best cover bands in the world come from Manila!

There was a lot of camaraderie among the bands. I remember a lot of times when I'd be driving up Laurel Canyon and pass by the house where Frank Zappa was living and I'd just see people out on the porch playing guitars.

You can't have an all-girl band! They'll get pregnant, and they'll never stay together.

If you can give people happiness, you're in their hearts. Now you can just start having conversations with people that you would not have had under other circumstances.

Happiness is just a great equalizer. It's like water. You pour happiness liberally and all sorts of great things are going to happen.
