The below quote? Change the pronouns to masculine ones and change the song name and it's identical to her 2011 quotes. But it's from 1983. The Lennon McCartney comparison, though, never fails to amuse me. So far off, Ms Nicks.
SN: And we actually wrote it in the living room together as opposed to writing it like a track. She didn't send me a track. We wrote it from scratch, me pacing and her playing her little synthesiser on the floor in the living room.
JL: Is that unusual for you?
SN: Yeah, it's the first time I've ever actually done that. And I was desperate to write this song.... Because she was very compassionate to me, especially at that time, just rode with me until I was just able to start singing something and she just started playing the right thing. And Nightbird was written real quickly and it was like, I thought 'Well, you can write in the same room as somebody else if neither of you have an ego and you both need it each other, it works'.
