I suspect some of this is just her spouting off, trying to steer the band and Lindsey back in a direction she's more comfortable with, and to regain some sort of feminine power in the band with Christine's absence. But will the Mac record again? I just have my doubts at this point.
At the same time, Stevie has been hands down the most loyal to Mac of all three of the songwriters. Even thought she really didn't need them after her solo work took off, she still made time for Mirage.... Tango in the Night...

Mick has said it before, and I believe it. I think she really does want to keep the band together. After some turbulance with Say You Will, I think she is more likely to be obstinate about getting what she wants out of a new record rather than skip out on it entirely.
