Before, I was really passive, all I cared about was being in love with my boyfriend. I didn't have any creative power, nothing. I don't know that person any more.
My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That's a huge, huge thing.
I have to tell everyone everything that's going on. It is different once you're married, because that's sacred.
[On husband Gavin Rossdale:] We're a perfect couple. He cooks, and I eat.
I'm kind of lazy. I like to lie around with my husband and watch TV and stuff like that.
Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for Halloween every day.
We [No Doubt] were making music that was the opposite of grunge and what was popular on the radio, and we were fine with that. And for a garage band, we were massive! We were already successful in our own minds.
I take the palette with me, but I have a lot of makeup. I was a makeup artist when I was younger, but I'm not that good compared with my makeup artist, so I keep things pretty simple. I explore a lot with pink and nude lipsticks, but I love red lipsticks. I love a line and a lash and a brow. So I don't need a lot, but I have a lot. It's all there just in case - for Halloween or whatever.
I love Vivienne Westwood. So much. Every time I go to London, first thing I do is go in there. It's ridiculous!
The people who worked at the clubs just assumed I was a tagalong girlfriend or groupie. I'd get up on stage and the audience was just like, 'Show me your tits!' I had nothing to show anyway.
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.
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.
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?'
There are moments where I think that we made an amazing record and I'm so proud of it, but I don't wake up and go, "Wow, I'm amazing.
