I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer and to - as my father puts it - finally have a real job.
I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.
I think that fashion and music go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music... I think they're very intertwined.
I don't care about money.
I am the center of attention in my job every single day; the thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?
I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.
When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.
No matter how much you rehearse on that stage, once you add 30,000 screaming people with flashing cameras into the equation, it's pretty intense.
I am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life.
People that are obsessed with hating you, feel flattered. Their whole lives revolve around you.
I'm half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times. It's best not to ask questions and just enjoy.
In order for me to be successful... In order to be a great artist - musician, actor, painter, whatever - you must be able to be private in public at all times. That is what we do.

If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don't really know me at all.
