Stevie Nicks Quotes

No one knows how I feel,
What I say unless you read between my lines,
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand, take me home.

I have no fear, I have only love

When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted. And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty.

Time cast a spell on you but you won't forget me, I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me. I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you, you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you

I met Lindsey in high school in San Francisco. We had gone to some party and he was sitting in the middle of this gorgeous living room playing a song. I walked over and stood next to him, and the song was "California Dreaming," and I just started singing with him. And so I just threw in my Michelle Phillips harmony, and he was so beautiful. And then I didn't really see him again until two years later, when he called me and asked me if I wanted to be in his rock 'n' roll band, which I didn't even know existed. And within two or three months we were opening for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, all the San Francisco bands. Two years later, we packed up and moved to Los Angeles with about 12 demos.

A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect.

Blue Denim

I saw him the other day
I saw him again... yesterday
I wonder if I'll ever see him again
He reminded me of Blue Denim

[Chorus:]
Blue-gray eyes... they change with the color...
Change with the sun... they run with the sight
They change with the wind... but they're always bright
Bright eyes... Blue Denim
Bright eyes... Blue Denim

I knew him another way
I knew him another day
In some ways he'd forgotten me
In many ways he got to me
I turned away so he couldn't see
I turned away... it could never be
I never thought he could walk away
But I lost him again... yesterday

[Chorus]

Understanding me... understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do
Understanding me... and understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do

And I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Like a photograph... so rare
Like a painting
No I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Never to be... not you... not me
No... no...

[Chorus]

So I'm going away for a little while
To remember how to feel
And if I find the answer...
I promise you... I'll come back and get you
I'll come back and get you
I'll come back and get you

There is a part of me that has to depend on fantasy, because if you can't be somewhat of a fantasy person, then you can't write

Love is only one fine star away.

Don't be lady. Be a legend.

…The reason I chose that kind of a platform boot was because the rest of my outfit is so filmy and floaty that I thought: If you’re going to wear that outfit, if you just wore a pair of stiletto high heels with ankle straps, it would look really pretty, but it would be way too airy-fairy. But if you put on a pair of really strong suede boots to your knee, that have got a substantial little platform and a really good heel, then if somebody tries to drag you off that stage, you can seriously kick them with that boot. And so those boots are not just a fashion statement. They are to make people understand that I’m not a ballerina. As much as I would have loved to be a ballerina, I’m not a ballerina — I’m a rock ‘n’ roll singer. And so when people get too close to me, I can just feel my foot starting to raise, you know? It’s like my karate moment. A few times I’ve said, “Let go of my hand,” and some people don’t. And my foot starts to raise, and they get it, like, “I don’t want to be kicked with that boot. So I better back off.” So they have their moments where I feel like they’re a weapon.

I'm going to spend my life writing poems, turning them into music that will affect people and touch their hearts. I'm going to write the songs that people can't write for themselves.

I don't want to know the reasons why,
Love keeps right on walking down the line.

Thunder only happens when it's raining,
Players only love you when they're playing,
Say, women, they will come and they will go,
When the rain washes you clean you'll know.

It's just about a lady who's a goddess of steeds and a maker of birds.
