Quotes
I think I've been able to
fool a lot of people because I know I'm a dork. I'm a geek.
I think everyone has gifts and everyone has
talents. If you are successful at it, it feels really good but it never
really penetrates completely. There are moments where I think that we
made an amazing record and I'm so proud of it, but I don't wake up and
go, "Wow, I'm amazing."
It's always odd to talk about my fashion.
It's something you look at-you don't need to talk about it.
I don't know what I'm going to do, but I've
always wanted to do the family thing
At a certain point I'm going to want to have
a family and I'm not going to have time to be running around the world
doing this shit and being greedy. I can always write songs. But can I
always wear an Alice-in-Wonderland costume? I probably shouldn't. I can
at home. 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!
As a famous person you think how you're
gonna end it, get away and have a normal life. I imagine my children are

don't want to drop off and not be on the radio or not be able to talk
about myself for hours. I don't want it to go away. But at the same
time, I never expected to be here in the first place.
I'm really emotional. I don't fight with
people - like, I can barely fight with my husband because I'll just
start crying instead. I've learnt not to do that.
I've been making a conscious effort not to
think about the future. I'm lucky to not have a real job, to be able to
express myself, be creative and be relevant. I don't know what I will be
doing in 10 years. How old will I be? Forty-five. I don't want to think
about it to be honest, because it's a waste of time. Tomorrow night I'll
be in bed with my husband again and it will be really great. It's all
about right now.
I'm like a peanut butter sandwich.

about my financial success is that I have a housekeeper.

my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a
personal nightmare.

be with my husband. I guess what I really want is to have a baby. Life
is short and you've got to get the most out of it.

role. Oh, who am I kidding? There are no small roles in a Scorsese film.

performing music. I just have to perform. I wanted to get it right and I
did. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
They are my best friends, so when I told
them that I wanted to try something solo they responded in the way that
best friends do. It was a matter of timing. We've all been growing up
and our priorities have changed. Then I went and got married and my
priorities certainly changed. (regarding pursuing a solo music career
away from her rock group, No Doubt)
This album is just about me. Although at
times I think there's less of me on this than anything I've done because
of all the people involved. (regarding her first solo album, Love Angel
Music Baby)

my vanity and fill whatever fears I have. [on easing up on her career to
consider a family, in Rolling Stone]
