Favorite Quotes ABOUT Stevie
 

I thought this would make a fun thread. What are your favorite quotes about Stevie, said by other people. I'll start this with my new favorite quote from Tom Petty.

"Now Stevie, there's a Cecil B. DeMille movie. This is a person that's larger than life in a hundred ways." :nod: Tom Petty

Patty

"It's like when you've got a sister in the family that nobody wants to talk about much, you know what I mean?"

-Tom Petty

"She also has one of the dirtiest laughs I've heard from a woman."

- John McVie

"She moves and dances purely because she likes dancing. But she has a split personality. Onstage she's the goddess of whatever, but offstage she's very often like a little old lady with a cold or a sore throat. Yet she's amazing..she can feel like **** before she goes onstage but then she goes out there and pulls out the stops."
-Christine McVie

I'm trying to remember the exact quote from Grace Slick on VH1's "100 Greatest Women of Rock" or whatever the hell it was called. Something like:

"Oh, yes, the witch, the witch. I love her."

Also, a combined quote from me & Suzequze in Vegas in May:

"Stevie is one hot sexy bitch."

I hadn't heard that one- very cool. :)

You stole mine! ;)

I love Christine's Stevie Nicks philosophy. :lol:

Something Like...

"There are a lot of talented singers, but there are very few stars; people who have the entire energy package. When you're standing in front of them you know you're in the presence of something great and wonderful, and for me, that's what Stevie is like."

Sheryl Crow

"She's like your fairy princess Godmother who like lives in a magical kingdom somewhere, and has like fabulous romances..."--Courtney Love

"She's so tiny, but then she has this big deep voice that comes rattling out--and I think that's very very sexy" - Debbie Harry

That's my favorite thing that's ever come out of Sheryl Crow's mouth...

aww how sweet...well at least you finally like something ! :D

I really like the one from Enchanted, written by some record exec or another, who says something like:

"People are forever asking me what Stevie's like. And I always say, 'She's exactly how you think she is.' "

"STEVIE NICKS IS HOT!!!!" - Beyonce

:laugh:
I love that, for some reason. It's also comforting, somehow.... :p

This isn't my favorite quote of all time, but I just read Jim Ladd's Wild Heart interview with Stevie, Sandy Stewart, Lori, and Sharon, and I kept cracking up at their back-and-forth banter. I love when Sandy starts talking nicely about Stevie, and the two start arguing, and Jim says:

"Stevie, Jesus Christ come on! You are the worst person to take a compliment that I've ever met in my life and that was a very nice thing and it rings very true."

It's just funny, and I love how he puts her in her place. :nod:

Where'd you read that? I'd like to read it, too. :wavey:

Hi Amber! :wavey: I found it in the Blue Letter Archives. Here's a link to all the Stevie articles: http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.ph...=index_v1&c=11

The Jim Ladd one is near the bottom, done in 1983. I'm so excited to have found this website that I've been slacking off at work and reading the interviews all afternoon!! :o

~Kat

I like the one where the interviewer asks Christine how it feels to be a sex goddess or something to that extent, and she quips "Don't ask me ask Stevie Nicks"

I love the Slick quote, haden't heard that before and I always wondered what Slick thought of Stevie.

Oh the other one was the quote about have "come f*uck me a four in the morning voice", thought that was pretty damn funny :eek:

I also like the Shirley Manson comment - this may have also been from the 100 Greatest Women in Rock. She said something about Stevie's "fabulous vibrato." :nod:

Debbie Harry said something along the lines of having such a tremendous voice inside of a little body. She must be a fan because she showed up at Night of 1,000 Stevies last year, in full garb.

that one is on the first page, I think. :) Really cool. Love the Deb.

And she went to one a few years earlier and pissed on a Stevie poster. :laugh:

Why? Did she do it in front of people??? Gross!!! Again, why?

Too long of a line for the bathroom. :woohoo:

Only Debbie....

Really? For real? Oh, my....goodness. :shocked:

and Courtney.... :laugh:

Wha' happened?
 

Well, that and a steroid-taking bicyclist.

"She romanticizes her own romanticism. That's what makes her Stevie." ~lindsey

She, uhh. . . . was being sarcastic, I think. . . . :lol: :p

Yup. She was given a Jackie Award for it and when she accepted it, she said "Winning this award is more thrilling then a good bowel movement." :laugh:

She was serious, though I think her opinion on current Stevie has changed dramatically given her thoughts on old rockers.

:lol: :laugh: :lol: yeah, i forgot about that one... ok, so two things

. . . ."Storms. . . . "
 

"Here comes a storm in the form of a girl . . .

she's the finest, sweetest thing in the world."


To those of you who say, "That's not actually about

Stevie," I say, "Isn't it??? Isn't it???" :lol:

Thank you, I'd actually read that one before, but forgotten.... :rolleyes:

the correct lineage from the Grace Slick comment on 100 VH1 Greatest Women is...

"Oh! The Witch...I love her...the magic witch"

I rest my case :nod:

Not so much a quote, as it is a sighting - but on The Simpsons, when Homer bowled a perfect game and whipped out his "List of Things To Do Before I Die," to check off "bowl a perfect game." A few entries below that one was, "Date Stevie Nicks," and it had a check-mark next to it!

Just reminded myself of another Simpsons quote - I think it was Burns, talking about Lisa: "She's got more magical witchery than Stevie Nicks."

I love the Keith Olsen quote about her harmonizing talents: "She can wrap her voice around anyone's." :thumbsup:

I love that!! That is just so perfectly Stevie. Not surprising who said it.




(Oh, yeah, whatever. Send out the Chiffon-Head police.)
