I can't remember the actual quote now, but I recall when Christine went to see the SYW tour, she said that they were all so tired and that Stevie came up to her and said how tired she was, but Christine quoted Stevie as using a British phrase for being tired and that was odd. But then people speculated that either Chris was paraphrasing or that maybe Stevie did use the British term, since she had been around Brits since the seventies and was talking to one.
