I don't know what to make of this... And from what I gather, it's early or mid 70's that this took place. It's regarding the Goldfish and a Ladybug animation flick and the guys or company she had approached to do it.
Here's the section of the post from the blogger... and the link to the full posting - which is long:

Golden opportunities for other projects came our way often – but Dick wasn’t at all interested, even after Paul McCartney had called me on several occasions wanting us to produce a Rupert Bear animated feature with a $20m budget.. “I don’t want to animate a f***ing bear for God’s sake” was his response when I tried to arrange a meeting.
Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac was another interested party, eager to spend a lot of money on her own love story of a goldfish and a ladybug, unable to resolve their relationship for obvious reasons. Dick asked me to fly to New York to turn her down – which I reluctantly did over a dinner but he then asked me to fly on to L.A. to reject someone else’s multi million dollar proposal.
