Right now I`m not involved with anybody, but I hope by 75 I will be again.

For 70 nights, right across America, I`ve been getting out there with two ex-lovers and we`ve been playing songs which are so specific about each of us, you just wouldn`t know. We`re friends now but we can`t forget what happened between us.

You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I`m older and wiser and I think I`d make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

I am pretty fearless, and you know why? Because I don`t handle fear very well; I`m not a good terrified person.

If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?

Singing is the love of my life, but I was ready to give it all up because I couldn`t handle people talking about how fat I was.

I watched Janis one time - we opened for her - and that`s the only time I ever saw her. We opened for Jimi Hendrix. I got to stand on the side of the stage and watch him for two hours and then he died. But I got the essence before they left.

My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don`t need the money, but there`s an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There`s a love there; we`re a band of brothers.

He and I were about as compatible as a rat and a boa constrictor.

Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don`t want to go to PTA meetings.

I think they all went too far. Their jeans got too low, their tops got too see-through. Personally, I think that sexy is keeping yourself mysterious. I`m really an old-fashioned girl, and I think I`m totally sexy.

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.

Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I`m back to being the poet I always thought I was.

I was not going to be a stupid girl singer. I was going to be way more than that.

If you see somebody running down the street naked every single day, you stop looking up.

Even in my really bad, drugged-out days, I didn`t go away. I still toured, still did interviews. I never gave up the fight. That`s why I`m who I am today, because I didn`t leave. And I think I made the right choice.

Rock and menopause do not mix. It is not good, it sucks and every day I fight it to the death, or, at the very least, not let it take me over.

I`m doing lots of interviews and stuff. I`m longing for the days of getting up, not having to put on makeup and do my hair and just going to the studio.

I preferred not to be laden down with a big instrument. If you`re behind a guitar, you get used to being behind a guitar, and you don`t really perform because you can`t. I wanted to be able to just hold on to the mike and sing.

I hated Chris, my brother. I would pull his hair and kick him, until one day my father gave him permission to fight back. I`ll be apologizing to him for the rest of my life.

I made a conscious decision that I was not going to have children. I didn`t want others raising them, and looking after them myself would get in the way of being a musician and writer.

We don`t need to have somebody that`s gonna make sure they pay for our market bills. It`s like we have only one reason to love and that is for the real idea of love.

By the time I was five, I was a little diva.

When you`re rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship, even if you try hard not to be. I`ve talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac, but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I`ve ever wanted to do.

I wouldn`t like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do. And I really think they`re much wilder than we are. One time, four movie guys walked up to me at a party after a show. I was looking good. And they took me apart with their eyes. The hair on my arms stood up.
