Quote #190390
I wouldn’t like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.
Stevie Nicks

Interpretation
Nicks draws a boundary between two adjacent celebrity worlds: popular music and film. The remark suggests that, despite her own fame, she views the movie industry as operating by unfamiliar social codes—more performative, image-managed, and psychologically distanced from ordinary routines than the touring-and-recording life she knows. Implicitly, she frames musicianship as grounded in a craft and a band/road community, whereas “movie people” inhabit a separate ecosystem with different pressures, hierarchies, and expectations. The quote also reads as self-protective: a refusal to cross into an arena she perceives as alien, potentially destabilizing, or incompatible with her identity as a musician.
