On his feelings toward Gwen: "Here is No Doubt. I like those . . . those guys a lot. One of 'em a lot."
On the "best present" he's ever gotten Gwen: "We got her horse, and I got myself a horse at the same time. Gwen, she loves riding and she loves horses. It's actually so funny that people are so shocked by that, but if you can name me one girl on the planet that doesn't love horses or just think that they are beautiful . . . "
On how their relationship came to be: "It's not something that anybody could have seen coming, besides God, I guess. It doesn't look like it would make sense, you know? But all I can tell you is, it does. It just makes the most perfect sense for us and where we're at in our lives. I tell people all the time, 'Gwen saved my life last year.' She did, and I think she would probably tell you something similar about me."
