~Favorite Stevie Quote~

GypsyNomad · #1 07-07-2005, 12:37 AM

I thought this would be an interesting thread to post

What's everyone's favorite quote from Stevie? It can be something endearing, adorable, emotional, funny, something that made you connect with her in some way, or something that helped understand who she is/what her music is all about, etc....

These two have always been very close to my heart:

"If you ever think that you don't matter... I want to tell you something... To me, you're the only thing in the whole world that matters..."
~Stevie address her audience at the US Festival

I have never once cried during a movie or anything (maybe cause i know its not real), but seeing this part of the concert made me bawl like a baby! (that & the end of the BD concert) It broke my heart to see how much she just wanted to jump into the arms of her audience....

[On what the definition of a "charmed hour" is] "The best hour. The best of all your life....It always will remain in your memory and always ring through your dreams, and be there when any people hurt you or bring you down, or you suffer, maybe. That haunted song will be there for you, because that's the Birds of Rhiannon. And that's what that was written about, is the Three Birds of Rhiannon, which always are there if you need them. And you may black out ~ and that's what they do ~ they just take the pain from you, and you wake up and it's all right. And that's the haunted song of Rhiannon... you have to know the story."
~Stevie Nicks, Jim Ladd Innerview, 1979

A family member of mine was dying during Christmas this year, and I was in alot of pain & I was holding in alot of anger & tears.... I was listening to a piano version of 'Rhiannon', and I actually did "black out"

I could still hear all of the music, but when the song ended, I immediately woke up with tears streamming down my face.... I never felt more at peace

"I thought this would be good for me, because I write so many...like, intense, serious, dark songs....and it is up, and it starts out that way, but there's a definite eeriness to it, that I didn't even realize it until you were filming it, just now" (paraphrase)
"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*"

I used to have this for my sig:
"And I do want to stay later than everybody else every night. And the others are burdened. They want to go home and sleep. And I don't understand 'go home and sleep.' "

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.

"I'm really an old-fashioned girl, and I think I'm totally sexy."

"You wouldn't say that to Bob Dylan..."

"They're not lying on the floor smoking dope..."

"I try to be extra-much-more fabulous"

I love that one.... I can just see Chris, Mick, John, & Lindsey all falling asleep in the studio, and hyper, nocturnal little Stevie ready to work and sing her heart out

"I never go to the recording studio in jeans and tennis shoes. Ever. I always dress up, and I always look nice -and people will think, 'Well, she must have thought she was really going somewhere, 'cause look at the rest of you!' Because you know what? If you look like you don't care, what happens? You become an old shoe. And I will NEVER become an old shoe...to ANY of the men in my life, EVER!"

"I do have some mystical things - I have crystal balls and I have some beautiful things - that someone might look at and say, 'Well, that's kind of mystical of you.' But even if I wasn't Stevie Nicks, I would still have these things."

The Playboy Interview has always been one of my favorites. It is filled with great Stevie lines...

"I never tried to beat men; that's why I managed to do it."

"My ballet teacher believes that my head was cut off in another life, too."

"This sure is the fast lane, but I don't particularly want to die in the fast lane. I want to get there gracefully."

"I have a lot more important stuff to do than worry about whether people think that I'm a witch or not! I wear black because I like it - not because it's 'witchy'!"

"I had a bus pass - my dad was President of Greyhound, I could go anywhere, right? - I said, 'Fine, take the car and the dog - I've got a bus pass!'. So, Lindsey left and I go inside and on the radio it says, 'Greyhound buses, on strike, all over the United States!' and I'm going, 'oh no...I'm stuck!'"

"I am never, ever, ever, ever going to be on the cover of Vouge!"

"Me and Prince had a lot in common. Well, for one thing, we both like to wear black chiffon around the house."

I could go on and on...Stevie is SUCH a quotable gal...Livia and I quote her in our everyday discussions...LOL

There was one thing she said in an MTV interview around Tango about Halloween, and I paraphrase, "I didn't want to dress up as a hot dog or a box of Kleenex, I wanted to be a witch."

"Like a charmed hot dog and a Kleenex box and the angel of my dreams..."

Have you seen the various Web sites dedicated to you? What do you think of them?

"I don't have a computer. That's the whole answer.The thing that scares me is that i'll be replaced like drummers and musicians... it's very scary. I love that we can talk like this, but i hate the idea that I can be sampled. I'm still alive!"

What do you have to say to the rumors that say you are a witch and pagan?

"I have no idea what precipitated those rumor. I am not a witch. Get a life!"

That one is also my favorite.

Their's also one from a radio interview when she was promoting Bella Donna...it was something like:
Q. What do you think of yourself being a sex symbol
A. (Stevie goes on to explain that she's not too aware of it...*paraphrasing: "It's not like my friends say, 'come here you little sex symbol you.' "
The way she says it in the interview cracks me up.
