Text Quotes
Bass guitar is the engine of the band  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) Be honest, be kind, and share the love  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) Then my own TV chat show in England in 1989  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) Joan was one of my biggest fans, as was Chrissie Hynde  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I am busy touring all over Europe, Japan, and Australia  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) When I was seven, I decided to buy all my friends some ice cream, but the problem was where to get the money. Sneaking into church, I went to the side of the altar where you can light a candle for your loved ones and took the money from the collection boxes.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) 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.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I’d always been insecure. Being the fourth of five kids means attention is divided five ways, and to do this equally is impossible. I grew up feeling like the little orphan in the family, the one who didn’t fit in.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I didn’t think I was going to change the world for women; I just did what I did. My big thing was that I didn’t change who and what I was to become successful. I will not be told what to do; I’m a real independent girl.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I’ve got more than 600 pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, from 1950s originals to newer models. I have them on the wall like opticians do so I can pick out a pair that goes with my outfit. I had around 30 pairs, then my husband Rainer started getting them for me as birthday and Christmas gifts.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I’m not a great flyer. It’s ironic, since I’m in showbiz and have to fly at least twice a week. I try to sleep and blot it out.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) One of my insecurities was my looks. I was short, cute and chubby, and Dad used to call me his ‘little fat sausage.’ But I always knew I had musical talent.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I don’t care what anyone says, but all children prefer their parents to be together  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) As Mick Jagger will tell you, performing is an aerobic work-out. I’ve got the bass guitar, which is the heaviest of all the instruments, and I’m a little girl, in boiling-hot leather under the lights. You have to keep the fitness level up if you want to look good up there.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I think like a man but have the emotions of a woman, and that’s really dangerous  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I always found the road exciting. I liked stinking hotels and freezing dressing rooms.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) There comes a crossroads in every marriage where you grow together or grow apart. I outgrew Len. He wanted me to be in that leather jumpsuit for the rest of my life and do nothing else. He constrained me. It got to a point where the marriage died or I did.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) My own musical ambitions were born when I was five, watching the Ed Sullivan Show on TV. When Elvis Presley burst on to the screen, singing ‘Don’t Be Cruel,’ I felt my first sexual thrill, though I didn’t know what it was at the time.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I can feel things - tap into emotions. When I meet a new person, I know their life straight away. I suppose you could call it a special intuition, but it’s my number one quality, and I’m always 99.9 percent right. If I don’t like someone, it always turns out to be for a good reason.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I don’t know what else I would do. I love entertaining people, I love communicating, I love an audience. I’m a real artist, right from the bottom of my toes to the top of my head.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I never wanted to model myself on a female singer, which tells you a lot about my character. I didn’t have a female role model. There just wasn’t anybody around. I played with the boys and beat them at their own game.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) Even though my first marriage broke up, I’d say that I’ve had two good marriages and two good men. I’ve been very lucky. I like to think it’s karma because, in a relationship, I give 300 per cent. I’m straight with my men, and I like to think it comes back.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) Rolling Stone,’ my first single, was only a hit in Portugal, but when we recorded my second single, ‘Can The Can,’ I got that hair-on-the-back-of-the-neck feeling, and I knew it would be huge. It topped the charts in the U.K. and Australia in 1973, and I got my first gold disc.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) The golden rule for playing the bass is that’s it all about feel, not just plonking away. You need to feel the sound, not using a pick or a plectrum - which has meant plenty of calluses on my fingers.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) Do as many gigs as the good Lord sends. That’s the only true training.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) Age isn’t a barrier to playing the bass, and I’ve definitely improved over the years, although maybe I’m not as flash as I once was. But looking back, I can’t imagine a life without a guitar.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I got my first real bass guitar in my hands when I was 14 - a 1957 Fender Precision, which is still hanging on the wall in my front room. I loved the heaviness of it and the feel of the wood. I still do.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I joined an all-girl band in Detroit and, although I was a pianist and drummer, I was asked to play bass because no one else wanted to. When I strapped it on, it fit me as good as my leathers. At the first gig we played, I looked out at the audience and thought, ‘This is what I’m going to be doing for the rest of my life.’  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) I’m totally active. I am just this side of hyper. I jog and go to the gym every day. When I’m on the computer, I’m reading, I’m writing, I’m never quiet. My brain is very rarely not engaged. Every now and again I will fall asleep under the parasol in the sun, but that’s a rarity.  (Suzi Quatro Quotes) The Pleasure Seekers eventually turned into Cradle, when we started writing our own material. My younger sister Nancy was brought in as singer and I kind of stepped aside as main lead singer and concentrated on my instrument  (Suzi Quatro Quotes)
