A biography for Suzi Quatrohasn’t been written yet.
“I never, ever saw myself as glam because I didn't wear makeup... my image is a plain leather jumpsuit, which is not glam at all. I've always seen myself as rock n' roll and not glam.”
“Rock and roll mainly but I can play passable jazz also.”
“I may have been sexy, but I was covered up total. There was something left to the imagination.”
“I am the fourth of five children, and I can't remember a time with no babies in the house.”
“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.”
“I would like to live forever in people's hearts and minds; that would be fun. I'll leave the world my art.”
“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.”
“Joan was one of my biggest fans, as was Chrissie Hynde.”
“I was inspired by Billie Holliday, and I really liked Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las because she wore tight trousers and a waistcoat on top - she looked hot.”
“I've got a quick mouth, and I set my boundaries. Nothing ever happened that I couldn't handle. Once when a guy came on stage making rude gestures, I hit him over the head with my guitar.”
“Be honest, be kind, and share the love.”
