“I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have ...” — Billy Sheehan Quote

I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.

I believe the best persona to be onstage is the one that comes naturally.

I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play.

Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan.

And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.

Actually, there was another band where we were three girls, around '84 when I met John Zorn, called Sunset Chorus. It was just bass and drums and guitar- we didn't make any records but we played a lot of different clubs in New York.

I played a bass player and a singer in a movie once, but I totally lip-synced to everything.

I feel safe and comfortable to do that once I know that the song structure around the bass part is very interesting and it satisfies me in a compositional sense.

Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield, those are the people who informed me in playing the bass.

You can't beat 2 guitars, bass, and drums.
