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

I feel that whatever you put out is what you'll get back. I always put out, 'hey, hi, I'm a bass player, no bullshit,' and that's what I got back. I got the respect.

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 have recorded nine tracks for a new album which I financed myself and am looking for a home for.

After moving to England I did some recording and eventually formed an English band, this was together for quite a few years with only a keyboard replacement. The band had no name, just my name.

Nothing heals like love and time

I do love acting. It's my second love and I would love to do more.
