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.

I tend to like the traditional sound: three-part harmonies, guitar, and piano. I mean, a well-played guitar is a joy forever... or something.

I tend to go for these half-little-boy characters.

I wouldn't like to grow old alone.

If the right guy pops the question, I'll say yes.

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

My ears are really good. I'm a good listener.

I dearly remember the old days... Fleetwood Mac had this one-of-a-kind charm. They were gregarious, charming and cheeky onstage. Very cheeky. They'd have a good time.

Stevie Winwood played like I'd never heard anybody play before. It just gave me goose bumps.

When you're in the same band as somebody, you're seeing them almost more than 24 hours a day. You start to see an awful lot of the bad side 'cause touring is no easy thing.

Recording 'Tusk' was quite absurd. The studio contract rider for refreshments was like a telephone directory.

'Mirage' was an attempt to get back into the flow that 'Rumours' had. But we missed a vital ingredient. That was the passion.

Fleetwood Mac always take a long time to make a record - you know what.

I wanted to have a home where I could go home and unlock my door and go in and be settled. I was tired of being a gypsy.

I'm pretty low-key. I travel fairly light, especially on the tour.

With Fleetwood Mac, it's an amazing chemistry that we have on stage.

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 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.

Everything is for the good in the end.
