I really like the Budda head with a big Orange cabinet with Celestion 30 speakers and my '63 Fender Telecaster.

There have never been a lot of female guitarists out there, so most of my influences were male. Acoustically, I followed Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. Also, John Lennon and Paul McCartney - both incredible acoustic guitar players.

Being taken seriously was always the biggest challenge.

One of the signature things about Heart was the acoustic guitar in a rock format, which you didn't hear that often.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
Heart is fun for the whole family!
Nancy Wilson Heart -
I think the theme of the album probably was just that it was our first record.
Ann Wilson Heart -
It's the ultimate compliment to be imitated or at least be somebody's influence, for sure.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
We don't really intentionally try to sound like ourselves. I think that would be overthinking.

I have a favorite blue Telecaster. It's an old '60-something, which I play at every show. That's probably my favorite all-around stage guitar.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
Bands are always told, 'Nobody wants to hear your new stuff - just stick with the meat and potatoes - that's what people come for.' That's only half-true. I know if I went to see U2, I would be thrilled if they did 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For,' but I'm equally as thrilled to hear their new stuff.

It was darn nigh impossible for women in rock in the '70s. There wasn't a mold if you were a woman and you were in the entertainment in the '70s. You were probably a disco diva or a folk singer, or simply ornamental. Radio would play only one woman per hour.

I like playing. Guitar... on a loud rock stage... with colored lights. Everything sounds better with colored lights!
Nancy Wilson Heart -
I feel like I've had a lot of painful situations that I intentionally delete from my memory.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
There's nothing quite as raw and honest as one person and one instrument.

I saw Led Zeppelin live for the first time when I was thirteen.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
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.

The original Heart logo was made back in the real early '70s by Mike Fisher, who I used to be in a relationship with. He was first our manager and then our soundman. When I met him, he was in design school for architecture, so he was always drawing.

My favorite acoustic is the Nancy Wilson Signature Martin.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
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.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
I don't know if there is redemption for people like Charlie Rose or Garrison Keillor. An apology helps, but what really matter are deeds.

We're not just 'ladies in rock.' We're weird people!
Nancy Wilson Heart -
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.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
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.
Nancy Wilson Heart -
I really feel that a concert is a place where you can bring up topics, and you can actually discuss them and feel them and have a great time.
