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

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

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

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

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

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 was by no means a nun.

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

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 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.

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

I haven't lost my blues roots.

You have to start laughing at yourself at some point.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

We all enjoyed the success of Rumours obviously.

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 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.
