Christine McVie

“I had the feeling every time I was on a plane everyone was going to die. It was a horrible phobia. A stupid one.”

“WhatsApp I adore. I use it all the time with my friends.”

“'Hold Me' was a nightmare! It was the middle of the desert in Palm Springs, in the height of summer. I don't know what possessed us to do that. But we sometimes do crazy things.”

“To some extent, I've always felt that the music should be the thing that creates the emotion in you, rather than a video.”

“I write about unrequited love in a very optimistic way.”

“I was by no means a nun.”

“I haven't turned into some rich monster. I've kept my perspective. But I am a bit spoiled. It's hard not to be a little spoiled by having a lot of money.”

“I always did have a kind of candle shining for Peter Green. I mean, he was my god.”

“Before shows, we rub elbows and growl. It started once when someone had a cold, and we didn't want to hug each other. So we started rubbing elbows. And we don't kiss. We just go, 'Grrrr!'”

“I sang and played keyboard, so I was virtually a statue at the back of the stage. I'm not complaining about that; I enjoyed that role.”

“You have to start laughing at yourself at some point.”

“As long as I can make a phone call and do a WhatsApp, I'm fine.”

“I was in Tower Records in San Francisco a few weeks ago, buying some cassettes, and a couple of people recognized me and ran up with albums, and I just wanted to cover my face and have a seizure or something. I want people to just go away.”

“My songs are self-explanatory... somebody pointed out to me that... my songs pretty much speak for themselves.”

“I think there's a reason to go off and do something and experiment - splinter off and do something different. It keeps the nucleus of Fleetwood Mac fresh.”

“I don't have the ability to be a diva. I can't flaunt. I don't have that kind of stage presence. I think of myself as just a band member.”

“It's such a diva thing, but I need one room for my suitcases and one for me.”

“You can only mend the vase so many times before you have to chuck it away.”

“I wasn't raised with money, so I had to get used to having it. I think I've adjusted to it pretty well.”

“My writing ability all stems from the blues.”
