Ironically, that was quite a bit of the appeal of Rumours. It's equally interesting on a musical level and as a soap opera.

If you're any good at all, you know you can be better.

I lost my power in the world because I did not use it.

The writing is all done, so it's all about verbalizing everything from point A to point B, and certainly there's a bit of politics involved, so it's a different thing.

I didn't take lessons, and I don't know my scales.

I also learned to be more confident, to trust my instincts more.

I'm also married for the first time, and I have two kids. So there's some kind of good karma right now.

That's basically what's going on now: Everything is propaganda.

When Stevie and I joined the band, we were in the midst of breaking up, as were John and Christine. By the time Rumours was being recorded, things got worse in terms of psychology and drug use. It was a large exercise in denial - in order for me to get work done.

When I work alone, my process is like painting. With Fleetwood Mac, it's more like movie making.
