Rocker Gwen Stefani admits she's "very vain" in an interview with Elle for the magazine's Women in Music issue. Dusan Reljin/Elle The subjects of Elle magazine's May issue have a couple of things in common. They're all huge successes in the music business ... and they're all female. But rocker Gwen Stefani was the one sassy songstress who revealed a bit more in her interview than any of her counterparts (who included Jennifer Hudson, Nicki Minaj, and Aretha Franklin). The 41-year-old superstar dished on everything from her self-admitted vanity to her true opinion of music's next generation. Here's a sneak peek at what Gwen and the others had to say.
Gwen Stefani ...
On her appearance: "I mean, I'm very vain. That would be my middle name. Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual."
On whether Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Katy Perry have taken a page out of her playbook when it comes to style: "Really? I don't see myself in those girls. I usually put pants on. I see these girls as more going for the sex-symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy. Of course, I think every girl is sexy, so there's going to be a little of that. But I see a lot of younger artists going more toward the sexy thing."
On doing her own stage makeup: "I learn from makeup people now, but in the past I had a real problem with makeup artists. I remember my first experience with a makeup artist was doing the first No Doubt album, the one that was shelved. Go back and look at how ugly I look. It is the worst makeup ... From that time on, I'm thinking, I'm not going to let someone do my makeup, because they don't know how to do it."
On performing while pregnant: "It was horrible. Certain songs would make me want to puke.You feel pretty gross when you are first pregnant. You don't feel cute, you feel disgusting. You're getting fat. It was hard."

On writing hits: "Prince, who is one of my idols, gave me some advice when I worked with him: 'Have you ever just tried writing a hit? Like, don't just try writing a song, try and write a hit song.' I remember him saying that and me thinking, Yeah, you're right. Why would you write anything else?"
