I've always liked long, flowing clothes,...I used to rummage around in my grandmother's trunks trying to find them. I love the feeling of chiffon and lace.
Little girls think it's necessary to put all their business on MySpace and Facebook, and I think it's a shame...I'm all about mystery.
I didn't want to look like anyone else - like Janis Joplin or Grace Slick. That's why I never went to any of the big designers.
If we can get back to the great singer/songwriters, music will just improve overnight.
I totally believe in magic. Because my life, I think, has been very magic, and magical things have come true for me time after time after time.
I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.
It's amazing, 'cause sometimes when we're onstage, I feel like somebody's just moving the pieces. I'm just going, 'God, we don't have any control over this.' And that's magic.
In Fleetwood Mac I have a persona, I call myself the 'Spider Woman'. I try to imagine myself putting on a spider mask. I become very subdued and quieter, I don't move so fast., I'm in a state of suspended animation.
I know he [Prince] is up there saying to me, "This is not the way I wanted it to happen, Stevie."
I blame it on my mother. She was a born entertainer. Leave the songwriting, the singing and all that behind, and I still would have found some way to be an entertainer. I would have never been an actress, though, because I realized early in my life, in like sixth grade, I was a terrible actress.
My life is a testament to believing that if you want something you can make it happen.
I believe that there is a certain amount of mysticism that all women should have, that you should never tell all your secrets, that you should never tell everybody all about you.
You don’t need help to write a song. You just need to get over this experience that bummed you out so bad. The relationship you were in is over, it was over a long time ago, and you need to move on.
I will always play "Stand Back" anyway. And Prince will always he standing behind me every time I do.
