  • 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.

  • I'm rather old-fashioned about this video business. It's all relatively new. We really don't do videos, Fleetwood Mac. We've only done two.

  • 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 dont separate my work with the band from this solo project-Im sure the group could have recorded any of these, and they would have if the Fleetwood Mac project had come up at this time. I dont have any finished songs lying around.

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

  • There were a lot of bad feelings when Lindsey first left the band. But there's been a lot of healing going on, growing up, maturing. The bond is a great deal stronger than what we first thought.

  • 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 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.

  • For Stevie, the words are of prime importance; the song moves around the words, rather than the words moving around the song.

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

  • I was actually qualified to be an art teacher, but I didn't want to teach.

  • 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.

  • I'm looking more like my dogs every day - it must be the shaggy fringe and the ears.

  • 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.

  • You look out into the audience and you see so much joy on people's faces. You make eye contact with people who are almost crying because they can't believe they're seeing the Rumours five back again, they can't believe their eyes. It's almost like a family reunion on stage, there's no angst, there's no animosity, there's just tremendous amount of friendship.

  • We all enjoyed the success of Rumours obviously.

  • I do ride a bicycle occasionally, but not those stupid stationary ones you see in gyms. I do have one of those, I must confess, but its quite literally a pain in the arse, so I dont use it.

  • Some of the best songs I've written, I've written in 10 minutes.

  • I find it hard to get excited by just a sound. I have to have a song there, then I'll find what used I can make of that sound within the song.

  • The chemistry was still there. To me, that was the biggest thing: Would the chemistry be there? Can we really go ahead and do this? And it was obvious within the first moment of plugging in the instruments that the magic was still there. It was a fantastic feeling.

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

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