The '80s was an interesting, confining time for songwriters, so we were just sort of riffing in our own language, off to the side.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I think if there's a support system in place, and you're acting adult-to-adult with a sense of unconditional love and forgiveness, only good things will come from any relationship between men and women.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I love singing, and whenever I can sing some more vocal leads, I always covet the chance.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
As a songwriter, simplicity - what not to do, what not to play - can be the hardest thing to achieve.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
In our band, we had such an interesting democracy, and it worked really well.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I've always been a little bit in the background as a singer and even as an acoustic-guitar player, although I crank it up and rock with my Marshall stacks, too.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
When you're 12, you have no gauge for what's hip or not hip - or even who you are.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
Grace Slick was a total trip to work with. Lots of jokes and opinions. A strident individual and super talented!
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
There is a definite sound with all-girl bands, a good rudimentary sound, and that's what's cool and punk about all-girl bands that you still find, largely - it's really kind of primal.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
We see what music can do for people. Hell, we see what music does for us! When you see thousands of people out in front of you, it's fixing their lives. It's helping. It's healing. It's bigger than the inconvenience of jealousy or emotional storm clouds.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
People started to ask me, 'Do you really play guitar?' They thought it was a prop. It was just interesting, because of all the imaging stuff.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
When we're home, we like to cook and be together and do mom things when we can.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
We struck out on our own in suburbia with parents who actually helped us get where we needed to go.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
There were not very many girls in rock n' roll together with men that had a heavy rock sound as well as a more acoustic sound like Heart.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
We don't really intentionally try to sound like ourselves. I think that would be overthinking.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
You need to know how to play live. The ones who can do that are the ones you'll see around for a long time.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
We didn't want to be the girlfriends of the Beatles. We wanted to be the Beatles.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
As far as havin' someone to talk to on the road, for instance, who's not a guy - it's saved my life many times to have Ann in the same group.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I think it's important to be kind of brutally honest without making anyone else feel bad in any way, if possible.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I just think it's good to have a big, living, breathing piece of music that's not just songs.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I think what constitutes rock nowadays is people that actually play and sing. They can do the job live with no ProTools or embellishments or other recorded material.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
'Barracuda' is very fun to play because it's like a galloping steed of a rock song.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I have a Gibson Thinline that I designed the body shape of, which I used a lot on the 'Fanatic' album that I'm going to shake out.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
In the case of Roadcase Royale, everyone in the band has a lot to offer as a writer and producer.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
Unfortunately, the music programs are being stripped out of the schools these days. We have to change that.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
Heart had originally relocated to Vancouver because Mike evaded the draft to protest the Vietnam war. We had to deal with a lot at that time - it was a tough period for the band.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
Generally, I think of myself as a guitar player, but when I do find the right song to sing lead on, I try to do my best.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
Our mom was a super strident, capable, and strong individual. I think because she was a military wife in the Marine Corps, she had to push back the things that she believed, and she had to really scrape and fight to have her space.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I was always so jealous of a band like Fleetwood Mac, for instance, where Christine McVie would sing a whole bunch of songs even though Stevie was the obvious lead singer. It added variety to their shows.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
One of the signature things about Heart was the acoustic guitar in a rock format, which you didn't hear that often.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
The Lovemongers came together because we felt kind of overinflated by the end of the Eighties.
Quote by -Nancy Wilson
I'm a Katy Perry fan, and I took my kids to go see her, and it was a great show, and she really can sing, and she really can play.
