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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
