I'm not that knowledgeable with the guitar - I just find ways that are pretty creative, but it's all within the framework and the limitations of what I can do.

The want to return to the fold doesn't mean you can repeat history.

The only way I've been able to keep my sanity is to pull back when I feel like it's time to pull back.

That's the only way to do it. Just like an actor. You can get a great performance if you do a bunch of takes and edit it. You find the moments and string them together.

There is a real joy to be able to get up and react to each other and appreciate the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, just the chemistry of the group.

I'm very fortunate.

After the success of 'Rumours,' we were in this zone with this certain scale of success. By that point, the success detaches from the music, and the success becomes about the success. The phenomenon becomes about the phenomenon.

We're not one of those bands that throws the names of all their songs in a hat and pulls them out right before they go on stage.

When I was in a band after high school and in college, I didn't even play the guitar. I played the bass because I couldn't play lead, and I didn't have the gear.

I feel like fifteen years with Fleetwood Mac was like working on my thesis, doing research for some kind of paper.

'Tusk' was clearly a line in the sand that I drew.

I have an amazing wife and three beautiful children, and that certainly makes you less obsessive about your art as a musician - which I've always felt was more like painting than anything.

'Big Love' was originally an ensemble song, but it's done now as a single guitar piece.

A lot of people who have gone to music school have gotten their individuality stomped out of them. It becomes harder to find those instincts.

One thing I admire about the Eagles is they always seem to know what they want. They always seem to know why they want it. They always seem to want it at the same time.

It's always been based around the song, and guitar-playing in the service of the song... The sensibility is about songs. I like to think of it as kind of 'refined primitive.'

Years on, Christine and John still have a deep love for each other, as do Stevie and I - we've been working together since I was 17.

My personal life is fairly barren.

They tried to get me to use a pick when I first joined the band. They had certain things they thought were appropriate. I tried to adapt as much as I could.

Most people don't know who the hell I am. But that's not really important.

Confounding people's expectations was a way to maintain integrity.

When I was young, I was crazy in the head on social media.

I don't listen to J. Cole, but I have nothing against J. Cole.

I just want to be a better person to the community.
