David is purely a conceptual artist. He didn't play any instruments or paint or anything. We were painters.

Even the Beatles found it hard to escape their image; they were trapped by it.

I don't want to wreck my voice. I love to concentrate on playing the bass and keeping it very rock-solid. If I were singing, I would have blown out my voice.

I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly, because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running, in a sense.

Tina Weymouth

It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.
Tina Weymouth

It's just such a pleasure to bring a talent you respect to the world.

Tina Weymouth

Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others' expectations can be avoided.
Tina Weymouth

Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.
Tina Weymouth

Sometimes you don't want to be a slapstick clown in order to convey a funny perception of the world.
Tina Weymouth

Sometimes, you have to go through a phase whether you like it or not.

Stick to your instincts.
