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

"Those 12 years, they were ambiguous at best."
Years
"I had to seal off my feelings about Stevie while seeing her every day and having to help her, too. But you get on with it. What was happening to the band was much bigger than any of that."
Feelings
"That's one strength that Stevie has. She's really not a strong instrumentalist in any way. Her instrument is her voice and her words. And it keeps her focused on the very center of that."
Strength
"But by taking the time away, getting myself off the treadmill, and just slowing down and learning, I felt I had so much more to give back. And maybe that was something that needed to happen for all of us."
Time
"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."
Love
"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."
Politics
"Another thing that was unique about working on this stuff was that I was engineering it. I used many of the things I had learned while I was away from the band. It sort of vindicated my decision to leave in '87."
Decision
"Some days I would be there at ten in the morning and wouldn't leave till ten at night, and the others would waltz in for a couple of hours and then leave, because I was doing that painting thing. And they were happy to see that being done."
Being
"It's really touching that we can come back after so long and care about making an album that says as much as this one does. And after all this time, we really do care about each other."
Time
"When I work alone, my process is like painting. With Fleetwood Mac, it's more like movie making."

"If you approach an opera as though it were something that always went a certain way, that's what you get. I approach an opera as though I didn't know it."
