I'm in a band, and I know exactly who those girls are. I know exactly what goes on backstage. I wish I had a little leash to walk him around.

I got married and decided I wanted to do a dance record, and I didn't ever expect for it to be what it was or for the 'No Doubt' thing to be such a long break, but it was one of those things where you just had to sort of follow your inspiration.

Everything works out how it should.

Even being close to L.A., I was always inspired by old movies and Marilyn Monroe and the glamour of Hollywood.

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.

My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.

It's superfun being a mom, but it's hard too.
