Lindsey Buckingham

“I think there's always a bit of a peter pan syndrome in the rock business, in the sense that you are trying to hang on to a certain portion of your youth.”

“I've always seen my solo work as a laboratory for the things I do with Fleetwood Mac.”

“The thing about Fleetwood Mac is that we're a very emotional band. We're a very dysfunctional family.”

“I'm not a great collaborator, and I never have been. I'm a solo artist, even when I'm in a band.”

“You have to be willing to be a fool to be a genius.”

“Sometimes you have to let go of the past in order to move on.”

“I'm not looking for a hit, I'm looking for a statement.”

“It's all about the song. It's not about the player.”

“For me, the guitar is a vehicle for songwriting.”

“I think the whole aspect of being a solo artist is not that you are some kind of god, but that you are able to be in touch with your own feelings and emotions.”

“I've always been a bit of a maverick, and I've always been a bit of a loner.”

“You can go your own way.”

“Stevie and I were very much a duo in terms of the music we were making.”

“You can't have a band with two leaders. It doesn't work.”

“The idea of being a rock star is a very strange thing.”

“When you're in a band, it's a family, and you have to be able to work with people you don't necessarily like.”
