It was my 16th birthday-my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do-write songs and sing them to people. [...] Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I'm back to being the poet I always thought I was.
 Stevie Nicks

I would have never been an actress, though, because I realized early in my life, in like sixth grade, I was a terrible actress.

Every girl - and boy, if you so choose - should take some ballet. Because ballet gives you grace. It gives you [the ability] to work with your hands. It's all about your hands.
 Stevie Nicks
Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.
