Things such as why neither had children, Fleetwood Mac being like the Army, how they gave up dating for their careers, etc. Christine is pretty straight up about everything... if she thinks something's nonsense, she'll call it out quicker than anyone. This is one of the most revealing interview articles I've ever read on our ladies.

Nothing new, though.

She has no children to complicate matters and says that although she will be 35 this year, she has not desire for any of her own.

"I'm too set in my ways." she shrugs her shoulders. "I don't intend to leave Flee*twood Mac until it crumbles on its own.

"Besides. I'm a night owl. The thought of getting up at 7:30 .. . sometimes I don't go to bed until then! To a lot of women it's a wonderful form of self expression and creativity to have kids. But I have that in other fields.

"I've got so many godchildren and children related to me I don't really need or desire to have any of my own. Mick and Jenny Fleetwood's kids are closer even than my blood relatives because I see them more often and I love them.

"1 have absolutely no desire to give birth. In fact the thought scares me. It's such a massive responsibility

I also feel that to have a first baby at 35 is really a dumb thing to do unless I really wanted that more than anything in the world, and I don't.

I've been sterilized," she told me calmly. "That was a big decision. But I'd already decided about not having kids and all the hassle of birth control was making me crazy."
