“I want to go out and do things... not just stick around having room service for two days.”
“Some of the best songs I've written, I've written in 10 minutes.”
“For Stevie, the words are of prime importance; the song moves around the words, rather than the words moving around the song.”
“Anyone I don't know, in my emails or texts, I just delete. If it's someone legitimate, they'll send it again.”
“I'd been virtually doing nothing in the country in 16 years of being a retired lady. Being busy walking my dogs - actually not doing anything very constructive. I made one little solo album in my garage.”
“I haven't lost my blues roots.”
“You get into your wellie boots and your Range Rover and, walking around with six inches of mud on your shoes, you get to forget about that more polished lifestyle.”
“I have always needed other musicians to bounce off.”
“Eventually, I had to figure out what the hell I was going to do with my life. I needed to find my way back to Fleetwood Mac.”
“It really comes down to Mick. He's the one who was constantly trying to get these five people in one room together. This is his love, his baby. It's his band, and there's nothing more he loves to do than get up on stage and play with us.”
“Schlepping around from city to city is nothing I want to do.”
“I have a lot to be grateful to L.A. for, but I overstayed my welcome by 28 years. I was only meant to be there for six months.”
“I enjoy my money, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'd certainly rather be rich than poor.”
“I wouldn't like to grow old alone.”
“I still like to play the blues more than anything else.”
“I don't sing about politics or anything like that. I sing about love. That's what I know about.”
“Recording 'Tusk' was quite absurd. The studio contract rider for refreshments was like a telephone directory.”
“I felt very at home in California, but the place is prone to earthquakes, and the one in 1994 scared the life out of me. For months afterwards, I felt that every time I sat down, I should have put on a seatbelt.”
“We've always connected musically in Fleetwood Mac because we're the only people who play more than one note. I'm not the best pianist, but I know how to interlace around what Lindsey's playing.”
“Music left my life for a while, to be honest. It wasn't that I didn't like it, but you know, I'm not really a solo player.”
