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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it, get away and have a normal life.
At a certain point I'm going to want to have a family.
At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.
Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for halloween everyday.
I don't fight with people - like, I can barely fight with my husband because I'll just start crying instead.
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 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.
