- Once I got in front of a mike, I became a crazy woman.
- I'm a working person. If someone thinks I matter because I'm written about, it's time for them to take a hard look at their own life. I love it when people ask if I'm going to an after hours club. All I can think of is going home, washing off my makeup, and steaming some vegetable dumplings.
- I came from a family that worshiped pop music. That was culture in my household. Whenever there was a party, I was the one who brought records. It was obvious I'd end up being a deejay, but I didn't realize it. When you go to a job counselor, they don't tell you being a deejay is one of your choices.
- I was trained to deal with emotionally disturbed and socially maladjusted children. Nothing helps more in a nightclub situation.
- The beginning of every night is like shopping.
