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. It would be totally messed up!
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.
It's superfun being a mom, but it's hard too.
My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.
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 think everyone has gifts and everyone has talents. If you are successful at it, it feels really good but it never really penetrates completely.
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.
I'm vain enough to want do a movie again.
Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way.
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.
