Things for Lindsey and I are never going to be mellow ~ never have been, never
will be...[but] there are enough things now that we agree on that it's
possible for us to work together again. When people say, 'Gee, great rage leads
to great art,' a certain part of that really is true. The tragedy of our relationship
makes it very interesting to watch. |

We lived together for six years. I cooked for him. I did the laundry. I took
care of him. It was as close to being married as I will ever be again. |
|
|
|
Lindsey and I were as close to married as I'll probably ever be. I took care
of him, I cooked for him, I ironed his jeans, I embroidered stars and moons on
them, I adored him, I took care of him. |
|
|
|
Maybe when Lindsey and I are 60 years old, we'll look around and say, 'You
know what, there just isn't anybody better around. Maybe we'll just get married
or something.' But, Lindsey and I are becoming really good friends again. …It's
really nice. I don't think we were all that good of friends before. |

In my heart, I knew that final show was the one that we would use, and I paced
myself emotionally. Something clicked as we started to play that night. The magic
was there again, only we weren't mad at each other anymore. I looked into Lindsey's
eyes during so many of the songs, and the tears came. It was uncontrollable. And
it was a beautiful night for us and everyone in the audience. |
|
|
|
[These days] Lindsey deals with me on a much kinder level. And I'm
more willing to be open with him. It's nice to think I might go to my grave being
Lindsey's friend and not a thorn in his side for all eternity. |
|
|
|
You know, when Lindsey and I go back and forth on the songs that were written
between the two of us, for that moment, we are back in love again. |

On the possibility of resuming a romantic relationship with Buckingham]
Over my dead body. See, I don't want to be part of that darkness. He knows that.
When we're up there singing songs to each other, we probably say more to each
other than we ever would in real life. If you offered me a passionate love affair
and you offered me a high-priestess role in a fabulous castle above a cliff where
I can just, like, live a very spiritual kind of religious-library-communing-with-the-stars,
learning of existence, I'm going to go for the high priestess. |

Let's put it this way, we hardly spoke. We would get on and off the same plane
without interacting at all. It's not like that now. Even if Lindsey and I were
to totally fall in love again, get married, and get divorced, we would never let
it go to that negative place again. We're just too wise now. It got so bad between
us that we couldn't even talk. We couldn't communicate. We couldn't work anything
out because we couldn't even sit down for five minutes together. |

You know, it was very difficult for Lindsey and I. And it never got better,
really. It’s better now because Lindsey is married. And he loves his wife,
and I think she’s great too. And he has a little six...seven month old baby
girl named LeeLee, and a little boy named Will, who’s four. And they are
precious, you know... Lindsey has a life now. So now Lindsey and I can really
be friends. Because now we’re not thinking in the back of our mind that
we’ll ever go back together. That allows us to be free. So now with his
new relationship
that’s really great for me, because it allows me to be his friend, and hang
out with him and see him. |

I
don't even remember what the issues were; I just got to the point where I wanted
to be by myself. It just wasn't good anymore, wasn't fun anymore, wasn't good
for either of us anymore. I'm just the one who stopped it.... In Sausalito, up
at the little condominium. Lindsey & I were still enough together that he
would come up there and sleep every once in a while. And we had a terrible fight
~ I don't remember what about, but I remember him walking out and me saying, 'You
take the car with all the stuff, and I'm flying back.' That was the end of the
first two months of the recording of Rumours.
Now we are good. We are actually friends. He has two children, a little girl
and a little boy. Needless to say, going from a selfish rock 'n' roll god to having
two babies, it's very much changed his life. He can't be selfish anymore. And
he is thrilled with these little kids; they are precious. He never thought he
was gonna have children, so he is surprised every day. He is a much softer, sweeter
man and I love that, because I knew that softer man a long time ago. So I'm seeing
my old friend back again.
