-"We bassists are the martyrs. people have no idea we're the link between the drums that everybody hears, the guitar that everybody hears, and the singer. the bass has so much potential"


-"I find it very feminine. It's emotional, sensual, and nurturing hearing what everyone wants, what everyone is doing, and then bringing it together. Bass players go through a kind of selfless act, which involves just being considerate and very, very sensitive to every move everyone makes. I love it. I actually feel guilty when I pick up the guitar."


-"I'm never anything I'm not."


-"i'm a cowgirl on a sparkle bass i ride"


-"Just because I do one thing it doesn't mean I am stopping any other thing. I do many things simultaneously."


-"Yeah right. Good point. yeah I am still doing that and I am still making up songs in my head and on my answering machine and playing wonderful bass in this band."


-"I want to understand why hair grows out of your head curly, cos it means that there are wacky things going on inside of your head. If your hair grows out curly it means there are curly things going on in your skull!! The combination of being curly and a redhead made me feel like I was an alien from outer space."


-"I love rock-n-roll fairy tales"
