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.
I wanted so badly to have a backup plan for when I'm not performing anymore. Let's be realistic: it's not going to be like this forever.
When you first have a baby your life doesn't change. I mean, you have a little less sleep and you drag these cuddly things around you and it's just amazing. But you still get to be you. Once they get to, like, five, six and school and it starts to get, like, 'Wow, they got real problems. They're my responsibility.' Oh my God. That is overwhelming.
Kingston is so chill. He goes with me everywhere. He's been to every studio in L.A., New York, London. He lives up to his name-total Rasta boy. He gives me a real balance. You can go 100 miles an hour, but you still have to stop to hang out with him.
I'm lucky to not have a real job, to be able to express myself, be creative and be relevant.
I thought I was good at mixing things up, ... but I realize Andrea is even better. I don't have her refinement.
I'm really horrible with secrets. It's amazing we kept it quiet as long as we did, I suppose. People were really supportive .... The tabloid stuff is so ridiculous.
I'm cutting in line and thank you for letting me cut in line, but I will stand here for a while. I'm not in a rush.
I made out with the keyboard player from Fishbone, and he tried to take advantage of the situation and I was not about to, and he got really mad.
I'm happy to have L.A.M.B. participate in the PSP accessories show as I've always loved designing bags and accessories, ... It's all about creativity at the end of the day, whether you're talking about fashion, technology or music, and that's what my L.A.M.B. bags are about.
We've been all around the world and that's my favourite part of everything I do.
What did I win? ... I guess whatever I won, I just want to say thank you to the fans, especially all my girls. Imagine what it feels like to be me all these years and have your support. It's just outrageous.
Tony was the star on this one. He was willing to try anything, and i was like, "whoa!! my best friend is getting me off right now!" There was a real chemistry.
I've been in this business for 18 years; they're 18,
