I don't feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I'm changing what people think is sexy.
I'm not interested, Larry, in being a perfect, plastic pop singer that looks great in bikinis and is on the cover of every magazine. I'm more interested in helping my fans to love who they are, and helping them to reject prejudice and reject those things that they're taught from society to not like themselves, to feel like freaks, that they're not wanted.
We wanted to make something that sounded perfect because of the quality of the emotion...the honesty.
Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It's not real life.
I am not perfect. I just think that imperfections are beautiful.
How can I protect something so perfect without evil...
I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what's happening on the outside.
I'm not one icon. I'm every icon. I'm an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.
I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff.
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.
If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don't really know me at all.
I'm half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times. It's best not to ask questions and just enjoy.
