Distance Quote by Gavin Rossdale
“I've always thought that you just make everything as best as you can, and then, one day, people will look objectively at what you do, from a distance, and see its quality. All you try to do is keep the standard up so that, one day, when I sit back and I look at it all, I can feel really good about it.”

![“It's like a relay race of being ignored. It is really challenging, but whenever I get asked that stuff, I feel really self-conscious about it. I feel really lucky because we have a lot of help. When I first began to be a dad with Gwen [Stefani], I was amazed at what she went through.” quote by Gavin Rossdale](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/368/gavin-rossdale-11673_amazed_it-s-like-a-relay-race-of-being-ignored_163622.jpg)
