STEVIE'S OWN WORDS

"Bella Donna is a term of
endearment I use and the title is about making a lot of decisions in my life, making a change based on the turmoil in my soul"~ 
Rolling Stone 1981

"If you believe in destiny, which I do, it seems like my life was pretty mapped out.  It seems
almost like there was somebody up there
moving the chess players.  And I was the white queen, and I just went where I was moved"~US Maj. July 9, 1990

"I want to be able to know that I can still have fun and be a part of the world and that I didn't give it all away for Fleetwood Mac. That's what  Bella Donna is all about.  It's the beginning of my life" ~BAM Mag. 1981

"When we finished Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac, I...I took it home when I got my first disc...to my apartment..And I laid on the couch, and I closed all the doors, and ...put all the shades down, and lit a candle, and...and uh..listened to it all by myself, and I said 'This is a
really nice album.  I really like it.  It's really pretty, it's got some really pretty songs on it...And the voices sound beautiful, and...yes in fact we have added something~we have
enhanced Fleetwood Mac"~Off The Record 1998

"My songwriting has always been an outlet for me.  Because it does allow you to put down on paper, first it goes down on paper, you know, how you're feeling and I think once you put it on paper and look at it down there it
becomes easier to deal with"~CNN May 1998

"The excessive part of it (drugs) no longer exists in my life, and hasn't for years.  What makes me angry with myself is that a whole lot of money went out for that, which we all could have in our bank accounts right now.  And at this point in my life I wish I had all that money to give to leukemia research"~Us

"I think there is definitely a God.  I think there was definitely an angel with me all the way through the bad times.  Somebody keeping
me safe. I feel very spiritual now.
I really believe that God makes my music good and makes me able to deliver it and makes me able to not look or feel fifty.
I mean, there has to be some
outside help, this can't all be happening on its own.  I feel like my life is pretty damn good right now."~Interview Mag. July 1998

"I don't really need children. I have a niece who's six, who certainly fills my life up as far as a child goes.  I'm gonna just work on my work. I don't think the world is going to have that much of a problem with me not being married or having a family. I don't think that  is why I came here.  I have something that's really important to do, and I don't think I've done that

And Go Home...
