Gwen Stefani on solo career: "I was a pretend version"
Quote:
Gwen Stefani has revealed that she felt like she was playing a 'pretend version' of herself during her solo career.
The No Doubt singer said she thinks being in the band is 'who she really is'.
In an interview with Spanish Vogue (via Spin), Stefani said: "I did the solo thing, but I felt like I was trying to play a character in a way, this Alice in Wonderland pretend version of myself. But this, being in No Doubt, is really who I am."
She also described being in the band as like a 'suspended childhood'.
"Time kind of stops when you're in a band. It's this suspended childhood, and it's really awesome, that part of it.
"But then when you have a family of your own, it forces you to go into the adult world a little bit more," the mother-of-two added.
It makes me so sad cos Love. Angel. Music. Baby is my favourite album of all time. It influenced so many future pop albums and doesn't even get any recognition for it. I honestly think it changed pop music.
