Any reaction is better than none.

I pretty much grew up when punk was big in the UK. The Sex Pistols were heroes for me. I used to run around like Johnny Rotten. I had a jacket like his.

It's like a relay race of being ignored. It is really challenging, but whenever I get asked that stuff, I feel really self-conscious about it. I feel really lucky because we have a lot of help. When I first began to be a dad with Gwen [Stefani], I was amazed at what she went through.

As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there.

Well, I'm English, so it's intimidating to step anywhere. I used to be painfully shy. I wouldn't say that I'm painfully shy anymore. But if I have the option of sitting on the edge of a circle, I will.

The only people who benefit from lawsuits are lawyers. I think we made a couple of them rich.

I'd love a drug that was good for you, I was thinking about ecstacy with Vitamin B.
