Susanna Hoffs

“I feel very fortunate to have been able to make a living in music.”

“There's a lot of power in a song. There's a lot of power in music.”

“The guitar for me is a translation of what's in my heart.”

“I was very shy as a kid. But when I found music, I found a way to express myself.”

“There's something about the first time you do something that's unlike anything else.”

“I still feel like a kid, and I'm really open to the things that are new.”

“I'm a big fan of melody. I think that's the most important part of a song.”

“I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me.”

“It's just the way I am. I'm a group person.”

“The truth is that I'm a secret thriller-seeker. The craziness of doing a final take captures that feeling.”

“I'm still a die-hard fan of the Beatles. They were my everything. I loved their harmonies and their songwriting.”

“Being in a band is like being in a family. There are ups and downs.”

“I never thought about being a 'rock star.' I just wanted to make music.”

“I love collaborating with other musicians. It’s always a learning experience.”

“Songwriting is a very personal thing for me.”
