QUOTES BY Nancy Wilson


The high road and positivity is never the easy way but always the best way.

I feel like I've had a lot of painful situations that I intentionally delete from my memory.

Ever since I could remember, women's issues have been pretty urgent.

The Seattle explosion was what saved rock from becoming too pompous! A great moment in music!

Ann and I were the main writers in Heart. We had the leadership role, and the guys in the band sometimes had a hard time with that.

In many ways, we might compare to The Pretenders more than others, but still, we created our own category.

One of the things I've heard musicians say that's true is, 'I would play for free. I would play music forever, but you have to pay me to travel.' I know we're always going to make music. The traveling part - that is the most wear and tear on any human.

We came from an era when women normally did not rock.

I have endless admiration for people like Chrissie Hynde who've been out as the only girl in a band. I'm not sure that, even as a little Marine Corps brat, I would've been able to deal with that.
