Zitat des Tages von Christine McVie:
You can only mend the vase so many times before you have to chuck it away.
I don't know what it is really... I think I'm just good with hooks.
I left the band because I developed a terrible fear of flying.
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.
There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.
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 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.
My contribution is the romance and the warmth. The love songs.
I still like to play the blues more than anything else.
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.
WhatsApp I adore. I use it all the time with my friends.
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 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.
The 2018 tour is supposed to be a farewell tour. But you take farewell tours one at a time.
Stevie Winwood played like I'd never heard anybody play before. It just gave me goose bumps.
We all enjoyed the success of Rumours obviously.
I didn't open a restaurant, but I did go to a few cooking schools. It was too much like hard work!
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.
My writing ability all stems from the blues.
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 write about unrequited love in a very optimistic way.
Anyone I don't know, in my emails or texts, I just delete. If it's someone legitimate, they'll send it again.
I try to say I love you in a million different ways. That's what I aspire to do. That's what I do best.
For Stevie, the words are of prime importance; the song moves around the words, rather than the words moving around the song.
I do like my wine.
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.
To some extent, I've always felt that the music should be the thing that creates the emotion in you, rather than a video.
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!'
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 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 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.
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.
Some of the best songs I've written, I've written in 10 minutes.
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 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 actually enjoyed making 'Tango In The Night.'
