Learn your instrument. Be honest. Don't do anything phony. There is so much crap floating around. There is plenty of room for a bit of honest writing.

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.

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

The old Fleetwood Mac was much better; they did some beautiful and, to my mind, very authentic blues. Chicken Shack did pretty well in Europe, but after I left, it was over.

I still like to play the blues more than anything else.

I wouldn't think a blues album would be that commercially successful, but I don't really care. I'd do it for the love of blues, not for the money. I've got plenty of money.

I enjoy my money, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'd certainly rather be rich than poor.

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

I couldn't go anywhere unless there was a security guard with me. That spoiled my life. It was like being in captivity. Those days are gone, and I don't ever want to see that happen to me again. Now I can wander around the streets of Los Angeles on my own. I like it that way.

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.

We all enjoyed the success of Rumours obviously.

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.

If you can't plagiarise yourself, who can you plagiarise?

I bought a house in England in 1990, shortly after my father died, hoping to come home to England and spend time with my family.

Schlepping around from city to city is nothing I want to do.

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.

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.

I'm quite a domestic person by nature, and the nomad thing had got a bit stale on me, really.

You have to start laughing at yourself at some point.

I haven't lost my blues roots.

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

I wanted to restore an ancient house in Kent, and that's what I did. It was a heap - this Tudor building with the beams painted lime green, so hideous. And I had this idea that I'd love the small village life, with the Range Rover and the dogs and baking cookies for the Y.W.C.A. But then it got so boring.

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 left the band because I developed a terrible fear of flying.

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 was by no means a nun.

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.

My contribution is the romance and the warmth. The love songs.

My songwriting, when I'm writing, is nothing like it is in its finished form - but you have to start somewhere.

Anyone I don't know, in my emails or texts, I just delete. If it's someone legitimate, they'll send it again.

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

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

I suffered from some delusion that I wanted to be an English country girl, a Sloane Ranger donning the old Hunter boots and Barbour jacket to slosh around in mud with the Range Rover.

I like being with the band, the whole idea of playing music with them.

The rock n' roll lifestyle did have its perks, but it wasn't all limos and parties in the early days.

My writing ability all stems from the blues.

'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.

There are so many songs that have become massive hits merely because the video is great, while the song is pretty rubbish. From that point of view, I think I've always preferred to listen to a song rather than look at it.

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.

I have always needed other musicians to bounce off.

I did make a solo album in my house when I was there. And because I was just afraid of flying, I wouldn't promote it, and I wouldn't tour. Actually, it wasn't a very good album anyway - it got buried underneath the pits of Hell, I suppose.

I don't think talent or the gift ever goes away.

I want to go out and do things... not just stick around having room service for two days.

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.

The 2018 tour is supposed to be a farewell tour. But you take farewell tours one at a time.

I didn't open a restaurant, but I did go to a few cooking schools. It was too much like hard work!

I don't know what it is really... I think I'm just good with hooks.

I write about unrequited love in a very optimistic way.
