The hardest instruments for women to play are bass and drums. Drums because of the physicality needed and bass just because its heavy and it's not an easy instrument to play.

The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.

Len and I had parted musical ways and this was one of the problems.

Anyone who has had their heart broken learns to keep a little safety area. Even now in my relationship, I have something I can call my own in case something goes wrong. You need a place to retreat to.

I made up my mind that I was going to be just like Elvis. It never occurred to me that Elvis was a man. I just wanted to be him. He had a huge impact on me, right down to that black leather jumpsuit he wore on the 68 Comeback Special.

Shame on those artists who aren't proud of their achievements.

Guitar is for the head, drums are for the chest, but bass gets you in the groin
