I've seen it [Australia] go from a lot of small towns to big towns, but I think it has found its identity in all this time... it's a very special country, I could easily live here.

I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world.

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

I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry.

The bass and drums are the engine, and the key to good bass playing is it's not what you play, it's what you DON'T play that counts. You leave the spaces, they're more important than anything.

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.

I do think fame can distort reality. I've always felt that.
