I never got my driving licence renewed, because I never went anywhere alone. We got famous so fast, I just didn't get in a car and go to the market anymore. I miss driving around and listening to music, but now I have to take the test over
According to Stephen Davis, author of Gold Dust Woman, Nicks would sometimes start the song during concerts by saying, “This is a song about an old Welsh witch.”
About being a witch: Nicks says she began receiving letters from people saying she was a witch because of her style and the songs she wrote.

“And there I am like, ‘No, I’m not! I just wear black because it makes me look thinner, you idiots."
Stevie Nicks also believes that she was beheaded in a past life like Marie Antoinette through the ‘Tragedy’ She’s experienced. She explained that she felt connected to Antoinette in several ways, including tragedy. She also believes that in a past life, she died in a manner similar to Antoinette.

Music Muses: When I was getting started, Joni Mitchell was my greatest influence, because songwriters were the ones who I really emulated, and she was the best of the songwriters.
But I don't really listen to her anymore. Now when I sit down at the piano, my influence comes from people who aren't musicians, a friend calls me up in tears about something that's happening to her and that'll influence what I write.
