"Stand back, because Stevie Nicks has a whole lot to tell Us Weekly! Just before her much-anticipated episode of American Horror Story: Coven airs on FX Wednesday, Jan. 8, the legendary &amp;quot;Gypsy&amp;quot; singer, 65, spoke with Us&amp;apos; Entertainment Director Ian Drew for an&amp;#xA0; extended chit-chat about her acting debut, her lifelong connection with witches, a bumpy, hilarious jet flight with Kathy Bates, why she hopes her friends Katy Perry and John Mayer make it as a couple -- and Nicks&amp;apos; own talked-about romantic history, including a lesser-known relationship with The Eagle&amp;apos;s Don Henley. Read the full interview with Nicks now!\r\n\r\nUs: Were you a fan of AHS before? How&amp;apos;d you get involved?\r\nStevie Nicks: I had heard of AHS, because I had a lot of really young friends, but I didn&amp;apos;t know what it was about. I was contacted by creator Ryan Murphy. He said, &amp;apos;This season is called Coven, and there&amp;apos;s one of the witches [Misty, played by Lily Rabe] who lives in the swamp and she has no family, no friends, no nothing, but she has an eight-track and a couple of your albums, and you&amp;apos;re like her only friend. We would like to know if we can use your music for this.&amp;apos; And I said, &amp;apos;That&amp;apos;s perfect! Because that&amp;apos;s exactly how I like to affect people. I want people to put my songs on because they are unhappy and need a boost to dance around their apartment a little and feel good. That&amp;apos;s why I write. Of course you can use my music. Take it!&amp;apos;\r\nUs: What&amp;apos;d you think once you watched a few episodes?\r\nSN: I was like, &amp;apos;Oh my God! I had no idea.&amp;apos;  Everybody in it is frightening. Especially Kathy Bates. I never want to run into her ever. And, geez, I hope I made the right decision on this. Because I&amp;apos;ve never even seen a horror movie. Never, in my life. I was a little freaked out. By the time we got to the end of episode two, I said, &amp;apos;I&amp;apos;m in.&amp;apos; I totally get it. I&amp;apos;m seeing this as a fairy tale. These witches are misfits, the Glee kids are misfits. I totally understand this and the relationship between my music and Misty.\r\n\r\nUs: So how did you end up actually shooting a cameo role?\r\nSN: I had five weeks off. So I said, &amp;apos;You know what? I wanna be on the show. I just want to walk through the house in a long black dress and look stunningly beautiful and say, &amp;apos;Witches! I&amp;apos;m here!&amp;apos; and goodbye, and then walk down a long hall and out a back door.&amp;apos; When I arrived in New Orleans to film, the script was waiting for us, and my assistant read it to me and I&amp;apos;m like, &amp;apos;They do know that I&amp;apos;m not an actress, right?&amp;apos; I was really nervous. But you walk into their world &amp;#x2013;- they built that house in the middle of a big soundstage, but they had an architect who spent six weeks, 24 hours a day building that house. It is a real house with bedrooms and plumbing and a kitchen. It all works!\r\nUs: Tell Us about the filming process.\r\nSN: I was there for two days. These people work a lot harder than me. They work 16-hour days. They work until they&amp;apos;re done. I got there at 10 and we didn&amp;apos;t leave until late, and they asked me to stay another day. Very magical experience; I got to really watch Jessica Lange work. I&amp;apos;ve never gotten to watch a really great actress be a great actress. They had to film me from every side. I said, &amp;apos;Are you insane? I&amp;apos;ve never done this!&amp;apos; I got to meet everybody, too. Emma Roberts, Lily Rabe, Jessica. I didn&amp;apos;t get to meet Angela Bassett -- she&amp;apos;s so amazing! -- but I will, I&amp;apos;m sure. And I didn&amp;apos;t get to meet Kathy Bates, because I didn&amp;apos;t do a scene with her.&amp;#xA0; But then the second day she came down to watch and we were leaving, so we took Kathy Bates and her sister on our little 7-person plane back. We seriously got to know Kathy Bates, because we had a long, very turbulent trip back. She is one funny woman! We were bumping around in the sky thinking we were never gonna make it. So it was quite a trip.&amp;#xA0; When I&amp;apos;m very old, I will remember this until the day I die. I had a blast doing it!\r\n\r\nUs: Any more acting for you in the future?\r\nSN: I don&amp;apos;t know of anything that will ever come along that will be this cool. I&amp;apos;m not an actress. This was a perfect fit for me. I&amp;apos;d have to be super interested in it, like I was in this. I&amp;apos;m totally into fairytales. I&amp;apos;m into the supernatural. I&amp;apos;m not as much into normal. If someone wanted me to be the mom or grandmother next door, I don&amp;apos;t know that I&amp;apos;d want to do that.\r\nUs: What about the long-rumored-about biopic of your life?\r\nSN: That&amp;apos;s not going to happen, because I don&amp;apos;t want it to happen. I don&amp;apos;t want a movie about me until I&amp;apos;m very, very old --  when I&amp;apos;m very, very old, everybody that wants to play me will be middle-aged. It&amp;apos;s up to me to decide. It&amp;apos;s the same thing with a book: Everybody wants me to write a book. I&amp;apos;m not. Because I wouldn&amp;apos;t write a book unless I could really tell the truth, and say all the people are in it are represented right. Did I go out with Don Henley? Yes, but I won&amp;apos;t change his name to Bob. If Don is in it, Don is going to be Don. If I&amp;apos;m gonna talk about all the people in my life, I need to be old enough and so do they that nobody&amp;apos;s gonna care. Don&amp;apos;s wife is not gonna care, and Lindsay Buckingham&amp;apos;s wife is not gonna care, and all the men that I went out with in my life, their wives are not gonna care. I want to tell the real story of what happened with all these people, and why they didn&amp;apos;t work out, and why I&amp;apos;m not married to one of them. I want to be truthful. I would never write a book about the bad parts. I would gently touch on them. I would mostly revel in the fantastic parts, of which there were so many.\r\n\r\nUs: You dedicated &amp;quot;Landslide&amp;quot; to Katy Perry and John Mayer during a recent Fleetwood Mac concert in Las Vegas. How did you become friends with them?\r\nSN: I like Katy&amp;apos;s songs and her energy. I dance to them and I treadmill to them. Anybody who makes my treadmill list is my friend because they are helping me to keep my weight exactly where I want it to be. When I listen to that music I get very involved with it.&amp;#xA0; I think Katy&amp;apos;s really fun, funny and quirky. I met her in London months ago. We sat down at 11:30 at night. We sat in the coffee shop&amp;#xA0; for three hours. We ran the gamut of her life, my life and everything. I just really like her. And I have been friends with John Mayer for a long time. I think John Mayer is one of the finest songwriters ever. He is right up there with James Taylor, Don Henley and those people. I really love him and respect him for those beautiful songs. So I just saw them on December 30 in Vegas, and that&amp;apos;s where I dedicated &amp;quot;Landslide&amp;quot; to them. They seem to be a really great couple, and they seem to really care about each other. I am just hoping for the best for them. It would be great if that relationship really worked out and they were together forever. I think they&amp;apos;re really good for each other. They&amp;apos;re very different people, and that&amp;apos;s the best way to go out with somebody. I always love to dedicate &amp;quot;Landslide&amp;quot; to people I know really get it and appreciate it. Because it doesn&amp;apos;t go out to anybody.\r\nUs: Your Fleetwood Mac bandmate John McVie was recently diagnosed with cancer. How is he doing?\r\nSN: He&amp;apos;s good. He&amp;apos;s got his treatment, and now he did a show on the 30th and 31st, another tomorrow night, then he has surgery next week. He&amp;apos;s good. He&amp;apos;s gonna be fine. I&amp;apos;m not the least bit worried about John. He&amp;apos;s very, very strong and a man of very few words. He&amp;apos;s not a person to mess with."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
