You have to also provide a video for it, look a certain way and big hair... If you're a woman it's even more strange with fake fingernails and corsets and all this stuff that was big in the 80s.
I guess we decided to make a new record 3 years ago when Nancy was done scoring for Almost Famous.
I don't think we ever clash but we do become frosty.
I've got two sisters and they're both married and they're both much more settled into the way things are.
Fleetwood Mac are more like a folk-rock band.
It's a really bad idea to be in a band and get involved with each other.
We're not like Alice In Chains where somebody dies and the band breaks up.
I like The White Stripes and I like the kinda twang American thing right now.
It was darn nigh impossible for women in rock in the '70s. There wasn't a mold if you were a woman and you were in the entertainment in the '70s. You were probably a disco diva or a folk singer, or simply ornamental. Radio would play only one woman per hour.
I would be on dates with guys, and the radio would be on, and if the Moody Blues song came on I couldn't concentrate on the guy; I would go straight into the music.
Fame put a lot of pressure on me in the Eighties and early Nineties - and I'm glad that I had the kind of makeup where I could come through it alive, keep myself in hand.
Just being out in the world, you see so many things, and every day, you experience so many concepts and different people and their coolness and weirdness. It's a feast of ideas.
I really feel that a concert is a place where you can bring up topics, and you can actually discuss them and feel them and have a great time.
Heart's always been sort of like a cockroach. You can set off a bomb, and it'll still be alive underneath.
Rock evolved out of rebellion, so when you turn on the Billboard Awards or something like the Grammys, and there's no rock on there, that's a good sign - because that means that rock is not welcome inside of a pop format.
I don't know if there is redemption for people like Charlie Rose or Garrison Keillor. An apology helps, but what really matter are deeds.
I don't harbor any anti-male feeling in my heart.
We had a mother who could have been called a feminist. That's just how we were raised. Why do you have to go sulk off in some corner because you are a girl? What's the big deal?
Music became less understandable in the wake of the new MTV era. You weren't supposed to be anything other than a pop star, to not go deeper than that. It was really strange. It was suffocating, image-wise. What you could talk about in a song changed; if you were misunderstood, you were really misunderstood - taken literally.
We had always been a real band; Heart was never a construct.
