I'm sorry if I'm the only one that gets annoyed with the principle "do as I say, not as I do." It's not just Stevie, I get annoyed with all people who are like that.

You know, some people are just fickle. I have a friend who is like this. She'll go on Atkins and go on and on about how she doesn't think about sweets anymore, she's never going to eat pasta again, etc. Then next month she'll go off of that and say Atkins doesn't work and she's just doing low-calorie forever. Then she'll go off of that and say it's all about exercise.
Or she'll break up with a guy and say she's through with him forever, but then next month she's back with him and downplaying all of his faults and rewriting their history.

It used to drive me nuts until I realized that's just how some people are. It's my feeling Stevie is probably sincere in what she says at that moment, whether it be about smoking, Fleetwood Mac, men, etc. etc. Then when she says something later, she's sincere in that moment, too, even if it completely contradicts what she said in the last interview. I don't think she is trying to say "do as I say, not as I do." I think she just rewrites her story as it suits her.
