“When I left the Seekers it was because I was unhappy. I wouldn't have left if I'd been happy.”

“In 1990 I had a nasty car accident and in 1994 my husband Ron Edgeworth died of motor neurone disease.”

“Music is a gift to all of us.”
“Death is just a continuation of life.”
“I lost the power to write and I had to sort of relearn how to read and write to a certain extent and speak fluently.”

“I met musician Ken Farmer in Lorne and he lent me all of his Bessie Smith blues LPs. That's when I started to sing.”
“Music is nourishment.”
