…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.

Additional quotes by Stevie Nicks

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

…People would say to me: ‘It would be very hard to be Mr. Stevie Nicks.’ And I’m going: well, yeah, probably, unless you were just a really nice guy that was really confident in himself, not jealous of me, liked my friends, enjoyed my crazy life and had fun with it. And, of course, there are very few men like that. I’m an independent woman and am able to take care of myself, and that is not attractive to men.”.
