I imagine my children are going to save me from my vanity and be my passion and fill whatever fears I have of the amazing time I’m having right now being gone.

Stefani frames motherhood as an antidote to the self-absorption that can accompany fame and success. The “vanity” she mentions is not merely about appearance, but about living inside one’s own image and momentum; children, she suggests, pull attention outward into responsibility, love, and daily reality. She also hints at a common anxiety of peak experience—fear that a thrilling, creatively fertile period will end. By imagining children as her “passion,” she casts family life as a sustaining purpose that can outlast the volatility of celebrity and artistic cycles, offering continuity when the “amazing time” inevitably changes.
