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.
More Quotes from Christine McVie:
A lot of the old blues artists have influenced me. Then again, I'm sure the Beatles have... the Beach Boys, a lot of the older bands. I listen to Steely Dan an awful lot. Whether they influence me, I don't know, because they seem a lot more sophisticated than I.Christine McVie
I don't have a star-type attitude. I'm down-to-earth. I tend to laugh at my success. I don't take myself all that seriously. If you take yourself too seriously in this business, you'll get hurt badly.
Christine McVie
There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

For Stevie, the words are of prime importance; the song moves around the words, rather than the words moving around the song.

The old Fleetwood Mac was much better; they did some beautiful and, to my mind, very authentic blues. Chicken Shack did pretty well in Europe, but after I left, it was over.
Christine McVie
I was, in essence, boxed in completely by keyboards. That's what was wrong I was so stacked in with keyboards I never used that no one could ever see me. It was like being in a prison... Mick and I would laugh about it, because he had the same sensation, being stuck behind his drums all night.

A child who does not think about what happens around him and is content with living without wondering whether he lives honestly is like a man who lives from a scoundrel's work and is on the road to being a scoundrel.
