The truly incredible thing is were realizing that you can perform a two-and-a-half-hour gig without being high and still have a fantastic time.
I have no fear, I have only love.
Thunder only happens when it’s raining...
And I knew then, as I know now, that I still have so much to do.
I’m timeless, I got that Dickensian, London street-urchin look in high school. I’ll never be in style, but I’ll always be different.
When you’re hurt or angry, let go by tapping into your humbleness. You want people to remember you for your grace.
My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don’t need the money, but there’s an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There’s a love there; we’re a band of brothers.
I wouldn’t like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.
It’s really hard when you break up with somebody, or somebody breaks up with you, and you’re in this band; guess who you have to see in the next day in the hotel in the breakfast room? That person.
If you can find a passion at a young age, somewhere between fifteen and thirty, if you can find that passion, I can pretty much guarantee you that you can be sixty-five and still love that passion and still have a reason to dance out of bed and down the hall every morning.
We don’t need to have somebody that’s gonna make sure they pay for our market bills. It’s like we have only one reason to love and that is for the real idea of love.
I keep all my poems in my journals and lock them away. They are the start of everything.
The people that can’t sing anymore that had great voices are the people that went away for five years and then just decided to come back. And you just can’t make a comeback. Comebacks are no good. You have to just keep singing. Or keep dancing.
Most bands people have side projects and it’s not considered a death threat as it was say, with The Beatles.
That’s not going to happen, because I don’t want it to happen. I don’t want a movie about me until I’m very, very old – when I’m very, very old, everybody that wants to play me will be middle-aged.
I sketch the faces upside down because it’s like drawing from the left side of the brain or the right side of the brain. I never took an art lesson in my life.
Don’t be lady. Be a legend.
Don’t listen to her listen through her.
I’ve never been to a strip club but I turn on MTV and see in every single video what it must look like... if you have to work so hard at appearing sexy, then perhaps you weren’t that sexy after all, perhaps your music has no sensuality, perhaps your music is dull, indeed, that you have no choice but to pelvic thrust your way through a pop video in a leather bikini in order to detract from its mediocrity... it might be advisable to do something else.
It was hard when you practice that hard and you sound that good and everybody tells you that you should be doing something else... You want to say, ‘Obviously we’re not from the same planet’... Lindsey and I just couldn’t understand how we could sing a beautiful song and nobody liked it. It was like, ‘We don’t belong here, nobody understands us.
She is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness.
