When you're a parent, you're just like, God, I hope they like me when they grow up. I hope that I did a good job. I hope they're gonna be happy.

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.

No one can force me to do something unless I'm passionate about it.

[On husband Gavin Rossdale:] We're a perfect couple. He cooks, and I eat.

I like the old, vintage Hollywood look.

People will tell me, "You're such a punk rebel," this or that, but I was not that growing up. I was actually a super-sheltered, conservative girl. Now, there was probably a bit of me that was like, "Why do I have to be like that?"

I've always worked really hard, and the hardest thing I've ever done is have kids!
