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 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 have always needed other musicians to bounce off.

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.

I actually enjoyed making 'Tango In The Night.'

Fleetwood Mac always take a long time to make a record - you know what.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
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.

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.

Everything is for the good in the end.

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

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.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
I had the feeling every time I was on a plane everyone was going to die. It was a horrible phobia. A stupid one.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
Recording 'Tusk' was quite absurd. The studio contract rider for refreshments was like a telephone directory.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
There are so many songs that have become massive hits merely because the video is great, while the song is pretty rubbish. From that point of view, I think I've always preferred to listen to a song rather than look at it.

You have to start laughing at yourself at some point.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
I wouldn't like to grow old alone.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
I wasn't raised with money, so I had to get used to having it. I think I've adjusted to it pretty well.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
I still like to play the blues more than anything else.

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.

The 2018 tour is supposed to be a farewell tour. But you take farewell tours one at a time.

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.
Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac -
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.

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

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.
