“We kind of expected it - the lead singer always gets a lot of attention and a female always gets a lot of attention - but we didn't expect it to be as intense as it was.”

“If your fans are comfortable, then people are going to be stoked to be there.”

“So, I went to see No Doubt play on March 14, 1987 at the show at Fender's Ballroom in Long Beach, California. A week later I tried out and I joined the band and that was obviously a completely incredible thing for me and a life changing moment.”

“Using the computer to record was a cool way to keep all the original ideas intact.”

“I always say this: I don't listen to stuff I've worked on when I'm driving in the car.”

“We're not the kind of band that writes very well on the road.”

“We're a vegan family, and my kids were brought up vegan, with a respect for all species, and we don't, as humans, have the right to exploit those species.”

“Sometimes in my mind I still think I'm 16 onstage and my body tells me that I'm not 16 anymore.”

“The fact that our band has weathered so much and stayed together for so long and we still get on stage and have a good time together, that's a big deal for us. We don't take that for granted.”

“It's not We're an awesome band.' The bottom line is, we're just very fortunate.”

“We would say, OK, the B section isn't good enough, let's rewrite that,' until we felt the song was great.”

“We were having so much fun that once we were through each day, Tom, Gwen, and I would go, 'OK, let's go out and join all our friends at a dance club now.' And we would do this daily - go out and have a few drinks and dance the night away and at the end of the night go, 'OK, I'll see ya tomorrow at two o'clock, let's do it again.'”

“On No Doubt's second visit to Paisley Park, sometime around 1999, we were working on a song with Prince called Waiting Room,' which would later be released on our Rock Steady album.”

“Stick out the bad times because there's always good times coming up. When you come out on the other side, it's amazing.”

“I don't think anyone can relate to me as well as my band-mates can.”

“We've been through the experience of being in high school and starting a band. Then we were also a garage band, while we were going to college, trying to make ends meet.”

“Bad Brains are so underrated.”

“We know how fickle the music industry is and that you have to focus on the things you can control-writing songs and playing music.”

“There's a real family aspect to No Doubt. We all grew up together and we've experienced so much together.”

“I don't see us as being part of that 90s revival. We were always a band, even when we weren't playing together.”
