Act as young as you feel. You're not getting older; you're getting more entitled to be your fabulous self.

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.

It takes a lot of selfish time to make music.

There's nothing that compares to being in a band with your best friends. We're so comfortable together, we understand each other. It feels, like, normal. Whereas solo period felt like I was trying to be something, and play a role, and pretend.

Don't shave, don't shower, don't care. Be really stinky and wear the same clothes every day. I think what makes a man sexy is not being self-aware. That’s what's really cute to me.

I have learned to delegate.

I had done the No Doubt record Push and Shove, and that was a real challenge for me: I think after the giving birth twice, going on multiple tours, all the stuff that I had done, I really got quite burned out after that.
