My feet never touched the ground. Lots of good groups with crazy and unique images. It was wild. I spent all of my time doing gigs, TV appearances, interviews, or recording. I could write a book - and probably will. Suzi Quatro appearancebookcrazy share on social
I just couldn't get into the high school scene at all. I was fat, ugly and weird. I just couldn't do the makeup and the hairdos. Suzi Quatro fathairdohigh Change image and share on social
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 bascallusfeel Change image and share on social
I haven't talked to any young artists for a long time. But if we did sit down, I'd definitely tell them my viewpoint.

Music has always been in my family, but it was mainly keyboards. I learned to play classical piano, but when I first heard the amazing bass guitar of James Jamerson, who played on all the big Motown hits of the '60s and '70s, I knew bass guitar was my instrument.

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 bigchangegirl share on social

It sounds corny, but I consider myself an old-fashioned entertainer. I could have been in variety. Suzi Quatro cornyentertainerfashion Change image and share on social
