Singer Gwen Stefani has revealed she tries hard to please everyone, so much so that she gets "physically ill from the guilt" if she doesn't.
The "Used To Love You" hitmaker admits she does everything to make her family, friends and children - Kingston, nine, Zuma, seven and Apollo, two, who she has with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, reported Vanity Fair.
When asked how she balances her career and personal life, she said, "I don't. There's always been days when it doesn't really work out. Sometimes I'd get physically ill from the guilt of wanting to please everyone -that's my nature - I hate anyone to be unhappy.
"But I think my spiritual journey is to have had these weird relationships and write music that people can somehow relate to. I've never had a record that is almost all about being happy and in love."
Meanwhile, the 46-year-old singer previously revealed she tried everything to "fix" her marriage to Gavin.
"I just think what happened was: In February, my family fell apart. It was devastating. I didn't know what to do. It was a real big secret but I'm not good with that. I tried everything to fix it.
"By June, I went into the studio and started writing. I was praying. I had already started on a spiritual journey when I got pregnant with Apollo that was sort of like, 'Wow, really? I'm gonna be blessed with a baby... Now?' That was a miracle. It just started me on this spiritual journey and thank God it started then because I was prepared when I had the tragedy. I had that nest of spirituality in me," she said.
