Default Stevie's Sense of Humor

I've been reading some interviews with her and she is VERY funny! Especially during that Street Angel era. So, here are a few funny quotes from Stevie. If you have some funny ones, post 'em!

"Interviewer: Any advice for Madonna?

Stevie: The sexual thing is pretty exhausted. Maybe a thesis on religion?"

On why Stevie and Prince were alike:

"We both liked wearing black chiffon around the house."

On Mick's book:

"Mick, if you slander me, babe, I'll bury you. I will write down everything that you have ever done and put it out."

I think Stevie is incredibly hilarious. I love her sense of humor. That one is great!! I have a few funny quotes from her I will have to find. One I have she says she thinks she could have been a comedian. She is pretty funny sometimes.

Some more:

"I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do. And I really think they're much wilder than we are. One time, four movie guys walked up to me at a party after a show. I was looking good. And they took me apart with their eyes. The hair on my arms stood up."

"For me, a 50th birthday is an excuse for people to buy you fabulous presents."

On newfound fortunes:

"We used to pin $100 bills up on the walls of our apartment just for fun."

"I'm timeless, I got that Dickensian, London street-urchin look in high school. I'll never be in style, but I'll always be different."

"Believe me, when I stop singing I'm gonna have a garage sale like you're not gonna believe. We're talking chiffon, chiffon, and more chiffon."

"I'm the original hunter-down-of-fabulous-things."

"Everyone else changes. I don't change."

I thought this one was hilarious:

"I'll be singing Dreams and Gold Dust Woman when I'm 95. I just hope the chiffon won't get tangled in my rocking chair".

Also:

"When Lindsey and I are both old, I'll be hitting him with my walker".

She's too funny for words.

And don't forget the "naked person running down the street" Stevie-ism!

1) When was the garage sale? How come I wasnt invited?

2) "Ill never be in style" - yeah right, infamous last words!

3) Musicians are far more wild than movie stars.

TOO FUNNY! ROTLFMAO you all!

"Life is all about good lighting."

"Don't ever buy another stuffed animal. I have enough for everybody." (HBO concert, backstage)

"Did you SEE that big velvet painting of me? I said I CAN"T CARRY THAT!!!" (HBO concert, backstage)

This isn't a quote, but I LOVE the scene at Red Rocks where the dove won't leave her hand. I love the way she shrugs her shoulders and curls her eyebrows at the audience.

"On my OTHER left..." (introducing the band at a solo concert after getting mixed up)

Pretending to put lipstick on Mick backstage on the Tusk concert video (Or maybe it was HIS lipstick that she had borrowed )

"After working for two days as a dental hygienist, I knew that I would never be a dental hygienist." (PrimeTime Live)

I love the BTM interview where Stevie is described as looking just like Carol Burnett back in her housekeeping days.

"Well then, you're going to have to run over me, because we're NOT leaving without the blue lamp." (Storytellers)

OMG..the one about Madonna is hilarious...but my personal, all-time favorite is the one about why she was a witch for Halloween and she's like, "I didn't want to be a hotdog or a box of kleenex, I wanted to be a witch" lol....I mean a box of kleenex? how random can you get...I just love her!

From the Woodstock video:
It's raining like hell but she keeps on going and says to the audience:"They just warned me that it's very slippery up here but we're gonna do this, right?". She goes to the left side of the stage to get another shawl or something and in the meantime there are some guys drying the floor with towels. She stands there, looking at them, making some moves as if she was drying the floor, comes back to the mic and goes:"SCRUB THOSE FLOORS". Brilliant!!!!!!!!

Also from Woodstock:"Today I wanted it to be bright and sunny but look what happens? Rhiannon came and did her thing".

That reminds of "oooh, well I can see the trouble...the sun is here today...well, I requested a storm, but I like some kind of...time life edition..."

At the Cleveland concert when they were having some amp dificulties, she said that she wished she had a good sense of humor or was good at telling jokes at a time like this.

Liar!!

Yeah! She knows jokes or at least can talk about funny things. She should have told stories about the tour so far, backstage goings-on, etc. Maybe a story about William Buckingham eating paste?

"I'm only wearing these spindly, rhinestone boots for EVERYBODY else. I'm MUCH more comfortable in my platform boots - which I have 40 pairs of - because they were made for my foot. They were made for ME. And that's what I love, I love people who are really themselves and go right on being themselves, because you know what? In the long run, you're gonna be....with yourself."

Classic Stevie - I think it's from one of the old Jim Ladd interviews (he also did the best interviews with her, imo).

Another one - "I don't want any of that sparkling mousse sh*t in my hair. I'm just a rock and roll singer."
