Gwen Stefani

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

I've always been a girl who loves to dress up.

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

I like the old, vintage Hollywood look.

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.

My mom and dad met at Anaheim High School. After they got married, all they wanted to do was have four children, and they did.

I've been trying to do films for years. So I've decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime.

I wish I could write more make-believe. It's a lot easier to write about hard times and when things are going wrong. But I've never been a private person.

Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way.

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.

If I wasn't even famous or had any success, I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on, and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life, so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween, too.
