Gwen Stefani's Plans: Make Babies, Make Music

She's midway through her first post-baby world tour promoting her album, The Sweet Escape, and Gwen Stefani shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

The singer recenlty talked with the UK newspaper The Guardian about her tour, her husband Gavin Rossdale, her neuroses and having son Kingston on the road with her. Here are some highlights:

On her marriage to Gavin Rossdale:
"It's one of those mad love affairs that you can't live with and you can't live without, and you just keep going and going. And time goes by and you get the rocky times then you get the intense love times, then you get the reward of having the baby. It's just this ongoing saga. I'm interested to see what's going to happen next, you know?"

On bringing her one-year-old son, Kingston, out on tour:
"If I had to leave [Kingston] at home and not bring him with me everywhere then I wouldn't do this. I know that's not going to last, and he's going to get more demanding and there will be school and stuff. But for now I get to do it all."

Her biggest fear about becoming a mother:
"My biggest fears about motherhood were, 'How would I fit him into my life? Would I be too self-obsessed to be able to care about him enough? I have a really extraordinary life and I obviously have a lot of passion about the things that I do. So I didn't know if I could be selfless enough. But obviously I can. It's the most amazing thing that has happened to me."

On her decision to keep breast-feeding:
"I don't know when I'm going to stop breast-feeding, I'll just keep going while I can - like, he's getting his teeth so it is a little bit scary. He's bitten me a few times! [Breast-feeding] is just obviously really convenient with my lifestyle."

On feeling neurotic about dieting and staying in shape:
"I try not to be but I'm super-neurotic about diet. I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! I'm like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I'm super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes. You know, I was chubby when I was a little girl. And I have all those issues everyone else has. But I try not to. And I've learnt over the years that it's such a waste of time. And people like me whether I'm a little bit fatter or not."

On what's coming next:
"Make babies, make music. I'm on repeat mode."
