And sometimes...when they ask her about the men in her life...she says, 'well,
they are poets...and yet they are priests of nothing...aah, but they are legends.'
And I thought that there was a...connection. |

If you've never experienced the really dark and deep lows of love, then you
can never really experience the real highs of love. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Just to know that I…am capable of feeling that strongly about another person
~ that knocks me out. Because some people I know aren't capable of that. |

Well, when Lindsey and I broke up during Rumours , I started going out
with Don Henley. And you know, I was like the biggest Eagles fan of life. And
we went out, on and off, for about two years. He was really cute, and he was elegant.
...He is sexy. He's such an interesting guy. ..And then I fell in love with Mick [Fleetwood]. And that went on
for two years. Never in a million years could you have told me that would happen.
That was the biggest surprise. Mick is definitely one of my great, great loves.
[How was that between Lindsey and Mick?] That was not good. That was not
good for anybody else in the band. Everybody was so angry, because Mick was married.
To a wonderful girl and he had two wonderful children, and I was horrified. I
loved these people. I loved his family. So it couldn't have possibly worked out.
And it didn't. It just couldn't. |

I wasn't displeased by anything Mick said about me, I knew the truth would
come out someday. It was a great love affair ~ something I would never trade in
a million years. |

As God is my witness, Tom [Petty] and I are very good friends. I just
talked to Tom the night that we found out about Princess Diana, talked to him
on the phone for an hour. He lives very close to here, he lives right down there.
So Tom and I are, like, neighbors. And it's great because he really is my good
friend. He's my best guy friend... Tom and I have been really good friends since
he gave me Stop Draggin' My Heart Around. A hundred years ago, the press
really kind of messed up our friendship [so when] Tom did all those shows
up in San Francisco, he really didn't want me to come up. Because of the press.
And I was very hurt because of this. That is what the press does. So the press
did manage to get in and destroy my ability to go and see my favorite rock star
play at my favorite place, The Fillmore. I didn't get to go because of the press.

In almost every relationship I've had, my career has ruined it. I will never
be able to stay with anyone really long, because there will always come a point
when they say, 'I can't deal with your life.' |

I guess in a very few rare cases...some people find someone that they fall
in love with the very first time they see them...from across a room, from a million
miles away. Some people call it love at first sight, and of course, I never believed
in that until...that night...I walked into a party after a gig at the hotel, and
from across the room, without my glasses I saw this man...and I walked straight
to him...He held out his hands to me, and I walked straight into them. I remember
thinking, I can never be far from this person again...he is my soul. |

It isn't easy to find somebody. I'm not used to having to tell anybody when
I'm going to be home, or where I'm going, and most men don't like it. They try
to say that they like it, but in the long run, they don't. This pretty much goes
for rich or poor. I really don't think that I'll ever get married. And I'm fine
with that, you know? |

Here's
one thing that Don did that freaked my band out so much. We're all in Miami, Fleetwood
Mac and the Eagles. They're recording at this gorgeous house they'd rented on
the water. It's totally romantic. It's pink. It's like Mar-a-Lago. Anyway, he
sends a limousine driver over to our hotel with a box of presents for me, and
they're delivered right into the breakfast room where everyone's eating. There's
a stereo, a bunch of fabulous records. There's incredible flowers and fruits,
beautiful.. The limousine driver is taking all this out onto the table and I'm
going, Oh, please, please, this is not going to go down well. And they want to
know who it's from. And Lindsey is not happy. So I started going out with him.
And this is not popular. Sure, Lindsey and I are totally broken up, I have every
right in the world to go out with people, but...I spend most of my time with the
band, and it's not real conducive to having a relationship. So, I went out with
Don for awhile. I went out with [Eagles songwriter] J.D. Souther for awhile.
We had an incredible time.
Mick
& I, were absolutely horrified that this [love affair] happened. We
didn't tell anybody until the very end, and then it blew up and was over. And,
you know, Lindsey and I have never, never talked about Mick. Ever.
