Also I like:
"I can't carry that!" in reference to the velvet painting in the HBO concert

And of course the f*** with my people quote.

The eff with my people one came to mind first, "If you f* with my people I'm gonna get real f*-ing angry!" Yeah Stevie!

Here are some of my faves. Yes, I know, I have alot of them.


Creem 7/77
"I'm not a heavy psychic weirdo. I just happen to love black and I love to dance. I hate seeing rock'n'roll ladies that stomp across the stage and that are so hardcore. It's so unfeminine. Being a sex symbol has never been my goal in life. I just happen to love beautiful flowing movements.


Arizona Republic-September 18, 1983
"Well, if I continue to be the same mealy-mouthed little person that I have been up until now I will never get anywhere in this world and I will have nothing. So a little bit of me is a little tiny bit harder. It has to be for me to survive in this world. Everybody else makes it that way for me."


Wildheart Interview with Jim Ladd-1983
"On my gravestone it's going to say, "Nobody is that cute." Because I don't think anybody is cute enough to carry a two hour show. I don't think anybody is cute enough to keep everybody interested for that long. I think that everybody needs help. I'm not going to sing on stage alone."


Wildheart Interview with Jim Ladd - 1983
"For me to be a gypsy, and for me to write about the gypsy, and for me to really live the life of the gypsy that I love, I sort of almost have to be cold and insensitive to be able to remain that gypsy. It's not easy to be a hippie gypsy when you're rich and when you're a rock and roll star."


Molly Meldrum Interview 1986
“I’m a rock and roll singer. I am not a model, I am not an actress. I will never ever be able to model for Vogue.(Q: Why not?) Because I’m only five foot one inches tall! And you know what I don’t care about being pretty that much. What I want to do is I want to sing to you!�


USA Today-October 16, 1991
"I love making people happy with music. I don't know what I'd do without that. You give up a lot to get a kingdom, but you get an awful lot back."


Timespace Interview ~ 1991
"It is amazing, I keep thinking one of these days someone is just going to grab one of my skirts and pull me right of off the stage and nobody ever does that. Know first of all that I'm a whole lot tougher than they think. And that the platform boots I wear would not be comfortable in their face and the tamborine that I'm usually carrying would not be comfortable around their neck."


Rolling Stone-September 22, 1994
"One of my favorite shows is Star Trek: The Next Genteration. I don't usually like science fiction. But I particularly like Capt. Jean-Luc Picard. When everytihng's closing in on me, I can go to my living room at home, put on my surround sound, and the whole room sounds like we're flying. I have the Enterprise at my fingertips."


The Morning Call-June 14, 1998
"It's such a rock star thing to send flowers. It's sick to send a $150.00 arrangement of flowers and think that that's going to make it ok. Nobody needs one of those. They are a pain."

[BTFLCHLD]

there are a lot but my fav @ the moment is this one from an interview done in australia:

"You have to understand the really great thing about fleetwood mac is that from the first day we joined fleetwood mac we were handed a first-class airplane ticket and we were picked up in a long black limosine and it is that way today. We prefer and choose to travel in a very wonderful and luxurious way and it's really fun and we've always loved it and we are prepared to spend the money to travel like that because we simply enjoy it. Right? Right? In other words, we have never done the bus!"


it isn't so much what she said, as it was her tone/giggle during the "right? right?" segment at the end as seen here:




my 2nd fav i will post later as ive to skat

that right there my dear, is in fact, my favorite Stevie quote

[Rickypt]

I love all Stevie quotes, but some of my favorites are "Santa needs no help" from the HBO concert and "This is serious" from Red Rocks, I guess followed by "He loves you, he told me."

[hauntedsong16]

"Believe me, when I stop touring, I'm going to have a huge garage sale. We're talking chiffon, chiffon, and more chiffon."

That's my favorite, and wouldn't I love to be at that garage sale.

I've always liked the enterprise at my fingertips one, & I don't even like Star Trek.

Also:
"They send me out to do these jobs...Here we are, coffee's made!"

"I can't live on just one...I'm a gemini"
"and if you want to do this, Stevie, I have to know, that...*shoot! I forgot the rest!* that you will be very very strong, and very...*something*"

and very "disciplined!" I remember this interview (I believe it was w/ Jim Ladd)--she was talking about having a discussion about going solo w/ Jimmy Iovine, who would be her producer. The whole "little baby egg" vs. the "hardworking princess." LOL

Awww, Stevie is so cute. I like a lot of what has already been mentioned (and I loooooooove that Stevie likes Star Trek, even though I'm not a Star Trek fan, because it adds a bit of geekiness to her character which I thought was sadly lacking), but some that haven't been mentioned yet:

From Storytellers:
Fan: "Is your bathroom your sanctuary?"
Stevie: "Yea--if it's a big, beautiful bathroom. I don't write in little, crummy bathrooms."

When being interviewed by Rolling Stone in their millenium collector's edition about technological advancements she'd like to see in the future:
"I'd like to be beamed places." (again with the Star Trek!)

I can't remember what interview this was from, but Stevie said something to the interviewer (who I guess happened to be pretty cool and saw Stevie as really down-to-earth) like, "I think there are a lot of people who see me as an airhead. So when you write this article, could you say, 'by the way, she's not an airhead.'?" Yeah Stevie!

[dissention]

The entire "Happy Birthday, Barbara" segment.

Nothing compares to it and it never makes me fail to piss myself.

[Nixxxed]

I needed a pick-me-up the other day, so I dug out my copy of the Wild Heart Mark Goodman MTV interview...

"I was in the kitchen, trying to make Hamburger Helper different, while Lindsey was practicing the guitar!!!.

[tlssln]

From Storytellers:
Fan: "Is your bathroom your sanctuary?"
Stevie: "Yea--if it's a big, beautiful bathroom. I don't write in little, crummy bathrooms."

Yeah, me and a friend were watching that together and we laughed so hard. He said, "Yeah, I only hang out in bathrooms with a fabulous chaise." lol

The F*ck with my people one is definitely a favorite too. When I heard that I had to rewind it like 50 times because I thought it was so wild. I bet she doesn't remember it though.

Another of my favorites comes from a radio interview Stevie did in '98 with WMGK in Philly. The DJ asked her what her fans meant to her. I can't remember the whole quote although I do have it on tape, but she basically said, "What do my fans mean to me...well, my fans are everything to me..." Damn, I have to listen to that again.

Here's one that I just read recently that I love:

"You cannot make a mistake in art. So even if you think you've made the worst mistake in the world, you just sit down, take a deep breath, and realize that you cannot make a mistake. Even if you cannot fix what's happened, you can tell everyone that's exactly what you wanted."

Love. It.

I also adore:

"You can only rock out so much. Then you have to go rest."

OMG! I had this quote taped to my wall & desk at school! I read it every time I became discouraged or unhhappy with a drawing/painting. Sometimes I would make a mistake, and think its the biggest piece of crap in the world.... Then my teacher would say "wow, that looks great! especially this part here...." & I'd say, "oh that, yeah, well I did that on purpose, you see..." I love it too!

That reminds me of the paper or plastic thing that she didn't get.
