At a certain point I’m going to want to have a family.

Being in a band you can wear whatever you want – it’s like an excuse for halloween everyday.

Now I’m a wife and a mother of two. It’s a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that’s what it’s like to be together for so long and go through what we’ve been through. I can’t really have that relationship with them anymore.

If you’re not Prince, you’re never going to sound like Prince.

I try not to be but I’m super-neurotic about diet. I’m neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! I’m like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I’m super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes.

You’re always tellin’ me to go out more, Go ahead, get out and see the world, But then I think, why should I? I’d rather stay home and cry.

At first it was my brother’s songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.

My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That’s a huge, huge thing.

It was such a turning point to find that I had a talent and I had something to contribute, somewhere.

I work out five days a week, I can’t imagine not doing it.

I don’t mean this in a stuck-up way, but I needed an attitude song.

I imagine my children are going to save me from my vanity and be my passion and fill whatever fears I have of the amazing time I’m having right now being gone.

I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear.

You know, I was chubby when I was a little girl. And I have all those issues everyone else has. But I try not to. And I’ve learned over the years that it’s such a waste of time. And people like me whether I’m a little bit fatter or not.

Writing songs is super intimate. It’s a bit like getting naked.

As a famous person you think how you’re gonna end it, get away and have a normal life.

I want to be a guy, but I want to wear a lot of makeup.

I would love to learn to play something so I don’t have to rely on someone to collaborate with.

And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I’m not looking my best, it’s not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.

I don’t fight with people – like, I can barely fight with my husband because I’ll just start crying instead.

My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.

I was thinking that when I have children, that I should always dress as a character for them, so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels.

I’m vain enough to want do a movie again, but right now more roles are the last thing on my list.

I’m just, like, totally normal. The fact that any of this has happened, that we’re sitting here at the Beverly Hills Hotel just gets me going, like, ‘What?’

Working with (new collaborators) and letting people in to try new melodies and new lyrical ideas was very hard.

I remember when I was in school, they would ask, ‘What are you going to be when you grow up?’ and then you’d have to draw a picture of it. I drew a picture of myself as a bride.

I think I’ve been able to fool a lot of people because I know I’m a dork. I’m a geek.

At a certain point I’m going to want to have a family.

I’m lucky to not have a real job, to be able to express myself, be creative and be relevant.
