More From Avril Lavigne

Why Should I Care What Other People Think Of Me? I Am Who I Am. And Who I Wanna Be.

I Was Signed By L.a. Reid On Arista Records When I Was 16. He Understood Me And Believed In Me. Arista Folded And I Got Put On Rca Or Whatever, Then There Were New People There, And Every Six Months It Changes And More New People Come In.

I Liked Being A Minor Because You Can't Get Into Trouble. Now I Just Have To Try And Behave Myself.

I'm A Chick, I Love Clothes, And I'm Also In The Entertainment Industry, So I've Done A Lot Of Photo Shoots, Video Shoots, Red Carpets. So I Learned Very Quickly That Fashion Is Going To Be And Will Be A Big Part Of What I Do.

I Started Singing In Church And I Was Probably Around Seven And I Started Singing Anywhere That I Could. I Used To Sing At My School. I Was In Musicals And Then It Kind Of Got To A Point Where I Started To - Wanted To Do My Own Songs.

It's Been Really Fun To See With Each Album When I Change To See The Fans Of The Show Emulate My Style And With The First Record A Lot Of The Kids In The Crowd Were Wearing Neck Ties Like I Was And Now You'll See A Lot Of Girls With Pink Hair. It's Cool, It's Actually Really Neat.

I Definitely Have A Rock Star Lifestyle.

She Had A Pretty Face, But Her Head Was Up In Space.

It's Hard To Be Stuck With People That You Love, When Nobody Trusts

My Mom Wouldn't Let Me Sing 'strawberry Wine' Because It Had 'wine' In It.

To Understand Me, You Have To Meet Me...

Love Is More Than A Word To Me. It's Something That I See And Feel In The People Around Me That Makes Me Believe It And Feel Loved. It's Nurturing And Unconditional. It Is Consistent And Reliable.

He Was A Punk, She Did Ballet. What More Can I Say.

Yeah, Let's Keep The Peace Going.

You're Not Alone Together We Stand I'll Be By Your Side, You Know I'll Take Your Hand When It Gets Cold And It Feels Like The End There's No Place To Go You Know I Won't Give In

Whenever I'm Done With An Album Cycle, I Still Wanna Write Music. If I'm Bored When I'm At Home, Which Never Happens, My First Instinct Is To Go To The Piano And Bang Something Out.

Why Should I Care? Cause You Werent There When I Was Scared. I Was So Alone.

I'm Getting More Famouser By The Day!

I Think It's Awesome.

You're So Beautiful But That's Not Why I Love You, I'm Not Sure You Know This But The Reason I Love You Is You

I Want People To Feel Inspired To Reach Out And Be Inclusive And Supportive Of Others In Their Community Who Might Be Facing Any Kind Of Challenge, Whether It Is A Health Issue Or A Disability.

I'm The Kind Of Person Who Always Likes To Be Doing Something.

On My First Album I Was Wearing A Lot Of Guys Pants, Baggy Clothes And Stuff Like That. I Was 17 And I Was A Little Tomboy. And You Would Never See Me Wearing A Dress Or Heels On My First Record.

Love Hurts Whether Its Right Ow Wrong

I'm Very Expressive. Expressing My Emotions And Experiences Through Music Has Always Been An Important Outlet For Me. Many Of My Songs Are Influenced By Personal Events And Experiences That I Have Gone Through.

I Think It's Important To Find A Line That Suits Your Body, Your Body Type, That You're Comfortable In.

We Have Parties At My House. My Girlfriends And I Play Our Ipods, With All Of Our Favorite Songs. We Pick Our Songs And Jump Up On The Counter And Dance, And Do Runway Stuff, And We Take Video With My Camera. When I'm With My Girlfriends, I Act Like I'm 19.

I Meditate And Try To Walk Outside Daily. I Prefer To Now Spend My Time With People That I Know Truly Care About Me And Are There For Me At The End Of The Day - Through The Ups And Downs - Because That Is What Life Is About.

The End Of The Day

Some Chick Came Up To Me And Said Something, So I Kicked Her In The Box And Shoved Her.

I'm So Excited To Act; That Has Been A Huge Passion For Me.

All I Want Is To Mess Around, And I Don't Really Care About, If You Love Me, If You Hate Me, You Can't Save Me, Baby Baby, All My Life I've Been Good

Hear Me When I Say I Believe Nothings Gonna Change Destiny. Whatevers Meant To Be Will Work Out Perfectly.

Punk Is Like Not About The Style, Its About The Music!

It's So Ridiculous, I Can Barely Stop. I Can Hardly Breathe, You Make Me Wanna Scream. You're So Fabulous, You're So Good To Me Baby, Baby.

I Don't Know If People Realize How Much I Tour And How Much Time I Spend Writing, But I Really Enjoy It.

I Wake Up In The Morning, Put On My Face. The One That's Going To Get Me Through Another Day. Doesn't Really Matter...how I Feel Inside. This Life Is Like A Game Sometimes. When You Came Around Me The Walls Just Disappeared. Nothing To Surround Me And Keep Me From My Fears. I'm Unprotected. See How I've Opened Up? You've Made Me Trust.

When I Can Do An Acoustic Set, I Can Sit Down And Sing. And Then When I Have A Huge Arena Full Of People, There's Nothing Like That. It's The Coolest Feeling In The World, But I Also Like To Play Small Intimate Shows Because I Feel You Can Connect A Little More. And That's Something I Had To Learn - How To Connect To A Big Audience Versus The Small One.

I Think Because I Was Brought Up In A Christian Home, I Was Kind Of Careful Not To Swear In My Lyrics.

I Hate It When People Say I'm Not A True Punk. I Don't Go Around Calling Myself Punk; I Never Have. That's What People Need To Know -- It's Not Me Saying That, It's The Media. I'm A Rocker.

Well, A Lot Of People Don't Know This About Me, But I'm Actually Shy Around People I Don't Know. I Would Just Say With My First Concert, My First Tour, I Didn't Really Talk Onstage. I Was Like, "thank You, I Love You Guys," Or Whatever. But Now I've Just Kind Of Learned To Work A Crowd.

Influences Come From Everywhere. I Don't Really Feel Like I Had Too Many Influences For The First Record Because I Grew Up Listening To Music In Church, And That Was Pretty Much It. I Didn't Really Grow Up Listening To Ac/dc And All Those Bands.

It's Important To Be Thankful, Even If You're Poor. I Mean, Come On, We All Have Clean Water—well Ok, Not People In The Developing World.

People Are Like, 'well, She Doesn't Know The Sex Pistols.' Why Would I Know That Stuff? Look How Young I Am. That Stuff's Old, Right?

There's Only One Thing Left Here To Say. Love's Never Too Late.

I'm A Little Fighter And I Stand Up For What I Believe In.

Just Because You're Famous Doesn't Mean You're Something Special And You're Above Other People.

Every Person Faces Their Own Unique Challenges And You May Not Always Know What Others Around You Are Going Through.

In America, I Get A Lot Of Younger Kids, But There's Teens And Adults Too, ... In Europe, For Some Reason, I See A Lot More Males In The Audience. In Japan, I Don't Even Notice Any Kids, Partially Because They're A Lot More Strict About Fan Behavior Over There.

I Lost My Voice For The First Time. I Was So Bummed Out, But It Happens To Every Singer At Some Point In Their Career. I Don't Think Most People Understand, But I Sing Every Night And Sometimes We Do Five Shows In A Row, Which Is Really Bad For Your Voice.

I'm Like A Sid Vicious For A New Generation.

I Don't Fight. I Don't Believe In It.

People Like Shakira Shouldnt Have Record Contracts. She Cant Even Speak English.

When I Tour, I Stuff Fridges Full Of Organic Food And Stick To That.

There Were Definitely Times I Couldn't Shower For A Full Week Because I Could Barely Stand, It Felt Like Having All Your Life Sucked Out Of You.

I'm The Best Damn Thing That Your Eyes Have Ever Seen

You Were Everything, Everything That I Wanted. We Were Meant To Be, Supposed To Be, But We Lost It. And All Of The Memories, So Close To Me, Just Fade Away. All This Time You Were Pretending. So Much For My Happy Ending.

Were Meant To Be

You Can't Complain About The Pressures, The Paparazzi, The Madness. Because That Is The Job. I've Always Understood That's The Deal.

Face Tomorrow Tomorrow's Not Yesterday

When Things Are Very Real And Honest, They Don't Go Away.

Whatever People Say I Am, I'm Not.

A Lot Of My Songs Are Personal And About Me Being 16 And Having Guys Break My Heart And Feeling Like It's The End Of The World.

Fame Is A Big Joke. Stars Need To Stop Taking Themselves So Seriously.

I Would Like To Sit And And Write Some Acoustic Stuff. That's What I Want To Do. It Means Creatively, That's What I Want So I Need To Do That For Myself And Then I'll See.

When I Was 2 My Mom Said She Knew I Was Going To Be A Singer. I`ve Been Performing Ever Since I Was A Young Kid. So I`ve Known I Wanted To Do This For Awhile. I Always Knew In My Heart That I`d Be Singing.

I'm Very Comfortable With How I Look. I Always Have Been. I Think I Look Pretty Good. There's Nothing I Want To Change. I'm Pretty Happy With What I've Got.

I'm Just Coming Out And I'm Going To Clearly Be Myself - I Write What I Feel, I Never Worry What Others Think.

Keep Holding On, Cause You Know We'll Make It Through. We'll Make It Through. Just Stay Strong, Cause You Know I'm Here For You. I'm Here For You. There's Nothing You Could Say. Nothing You Could Do. There's No Other Way When It Comes To The Truth, But Keep Holding On, Cause You Know We'll Make It Through.

You Can't Kick Me Down, I'm Already On The Ground. No, You Can't, But You Couldn't Catch Me Anyhow.blue Skies, But The Sun Isn't Comming Out, No. Today, It Is Like I'm Under A Heavy Cloud." Avril Lavigne (runaway)

I Don't Want To Have Kids For Like 10 Years. I Still Have A Lot To Do. I Don't Even Know If I Could Handle A Dog Right Now. I'm So Not Ready. Someday I'll Be A Mom But Not Until I'm In My 30s.

I Don't Really Care If My Clothes Are Wrinkled Or There's A Stain On My Shirt. Going Out On The Road, Your Clothes Are Dirty.

You Get Built Up And Put On A Pedestal And Then People Want To Bring You Down. It Can Be Hurtful. Some People Try To Make Me Look Bad Or Not A Nice Person But It's Completely False.

Here's To Never Growing Up

It's So Different Now Coming Out As A New Artist Today Than It Was When I Came Out Almost Ten Years Ago. Now, It's All About Singles, It's Really Quick, It's Online. I Came Out When People Sold Records And They Still Do Today But - I Don't Know What The Key Is.

Life Is Like A Roller Coaster, Live It, Be Happy, Enjoy Life.

I Think I Would Probably Die Without My Eyeliner, But Besides That I'm Pretty Basic.

Inspiration For My Music Just Comes From, You Know, My Life Experiences.

Life Experience

I Wanna Do A Movie! Anything That I Connect With, Really. I Read Scripts, I've Taken Some Acting Lessons, And I Feel Like That's Definitely My Next Goal.

He Was A Boy, She Was A Girl, Can I Make It Any More Obvious? He Was A Punk, She Did Ballet, What More Can I Say? He Wanted Her, She'd Never Tell, But Secretly She Wanted Him As Well.

It's Who I Am I Don't Have To Try Hard

I Wrote About What I Was Going Through At The Time.

Everybody Hurts Some Days. It's Okay To Be Afraid. Everybody Hurts, Everybody Screams. Everybody Feels This Way.

I Love Being In The Studio. It's Really Great. I Like It A Lot. But Of Course, I Like Performing More. But When I'm In The Studio Mode, It's Cool. I Like To Really Focus On It.

I'm Definitely Really Into Rock Music, And I Feel Like That Is Where My Heart Is.

I'm Tugging At My Hair. I'm Pulling At My Clothes. I'm Trying To Keep My Cool, I Know It Shows. I'm Staring At My Feet. My Cheeks Are Turning Red. I'm Searching For The Words Inside My Head. I'm Feeling Nervous Trying To Be Perfect, 'cause I Know You're Worth It.

I Decorated My House Like A Medieval Gothic Castle, European-style. Chandeliers And Red Velvet Curtains. My Bedroom Is Pink And Black, My Bathroom Is Totally Hello Kitty, I Have A Massive Pink Couch And A Big Antique Gold Cross.

The Only Fear Is Fear Itself, So Get Rid Of It.

The Mall Tour Was Right Off Of My Second Record, Before It Came Out. It Was Very Different. I Did An Acoustic Performance Every Day In A Different Mall! One Interesting Thing I Remember Is Playing "my Happy Ending" A Lot, And That Song Was So New That I Remember Getting Emotional When I Would Play It.

Actually, I Know For A Fact There Are Some Young Female Artists Who Don't Even Sing On Their Own Records And Who Don't Sing Live. And That Is Pathetic.

Whatever. Everyone Mispronounces My Name. And, Like, David Bowie Was Big Before I Was Born, Right?

I'm A Person With A Ton Of Energy Who Likes To Scream And Party And Rock Out. And There Are Other Sides Of Me That Are Real Serious.

It's So Easy For Me To Do A Boy-bashing Pop Song, But To Sit Down And Write Honestly About Something That's Really Close To Me, Something I've Been Through, It's A Totally Different Thing.

I Won't Change Anything Because I Think The Most Important Thing Is Being Yourself And That's What I'm Going To Continue To Do.

I Want To Be Played On The Radio. I Want To Have Top 40 Hits.

I Thought You'd Have The Decency To Change. But Babe, I Guess You Didn't Take That Warning, Cause I'm Not About To Look At Your Face Again.

I'm Waking Up To Say I Tried, Instead Of Waking Up To Another Tv Guide.

Being Able To Express Myself Through Music And Art Has Always Been When I Feel The Most Alive.

School Teaches You What To Do With The Rest Of Your Life. I Already Knew.

Rest Of Your Life

This Innocence Is Brilliant I Hope That It Will Stay This Moment Is Perfect Please Don't Go Away I Need You Now And I'll Hold On To It Don't You Let It Pass You By

To Understand Me, You Have To Meet Me And Be Around Me. And Then Only If I'm In A Good Mood - Don't Meet Me In A Bad Mood.

I Have My Own Style That Happens To Be Different From Everyone Else In Hollywood. My Inspiration Is Me.

I Have Always Looked For Ways To Give Back Because I Think It's A Responsibility We All Share.

I Love Being In An Arena That Has Like 10,000 People And Huge Crowds. I Want To Do A Show At Like The Viper Room So Badly. Like Go Up On Stage And Thrash Myself Around, Go Jump Into The Crowd. You Can Effing Swear, Get Drunk On Stage And Do Whatever You Want Basically.

As Humans We Speak One Language.

There's Nothin' Else I Can Do, But Love You The Best That I Can.

Staying True To Yourself And Trusting Your Instincts Is Very Important. I've Learned This Both Through Creating Music, Where I've Always Stayed Focused On Recording Music That Is True To Who I Am And To My Fans, And Through My Recent Health Struggles, Where I Knew Something More Was Going On Than What I Was Hearing From Different Doctors; I Had To Trust Myself And Continue To Pursue A Diagnosis.

I Only Toured For Three Months. As Soon As I Got Off [tour], I Was Just Dying To Start Recording, Because It Was On My Mind: 'i've Got To Make Another Record Now.' And I Was Totally Excited.

I'm On A Vegan Diet, I Do Yoga Every Day, I Work Out, I'm Totally Spiritual.

I Didn't Just Write About Boys And Relationships Like Usual. I Wrote About Other Things: Rock 'n' Roll, Nostalgia, Hello Kitty.

Her Feelings She Hides Her Dreams She Can't Find She's Losing Her Mind She's Falling Behind She Can't Find Her Place She's Losing Her Faith She's Falling From Grace She's All Over The Place

I Dont Want To Be Compared To Britney,ashlee,hilary Or Lindsay. I Want To Be Compared To Me.

I'm All About Kind Of Preserving Hair And Face, Conditioning Products And Staying Out Of The Sun.

If Something Is Meant To Be, It's Gonna Work. If Two People Believe In Something Really Strongly, I Think A Longdistance Relationship Is Easy. They Just Make The Time To Be Together. And You Have To Remember That Any Relationship Is Going To Be Hard...mostly Because You're Two Different People And You Have To Figure Stuff Out.

And Suddenly You're All I Need The Reason Why I Smile<3

I've Never Felt Like This Before. I'm Naked Around You. Does It Show? You See Right Through Me And I Can't Hide. I'm Naked Around You. And It Feels So Right.

You Can't See The World Through A Mirror.

When People Come To A Concert, They Wanna Hear The Hits, The Big Radio Songs, And They Wanna Hear Them How They're Used To Hearing Them. I Like Playing Them How They Were Recorded.

It's Easiest To Write Songs When I'm Either Really In Love Or Really Mad At A Guy. It's Just Always Best When I'm Feeling Superemotional.

I'm Gonna Live Today Like This Is My Last Day.. :)

You're So Beautiful But That's Not Why I Love You And I'm Not Sure You Know That The Reason I Love You, Is You Being You, Just You Yea The Reason I Love You Is All That We've Been Through And That's Why I Love You

We Should All Focus On Trying To Be Compassionate To Others At All Times, And Be As Understanding As Possible Towards People We Know Are Hurting. We Should Try To Be There To Lift Each Other Up.

I Couldn't Tell You Why She Felt That Way But She Felt It Everyday. I Couldn't Help Her; I Just Watched Her Make The Same Mistakes Again.

I Appreciate It Everyday. I'm Like, 'i Can't Believe This Is Happening To Me.' I'm So Thankful. I Feel Really Lucky And Really Blessed. I Remind Myself All The Time, Because It Can Go As Quickly As It Came.

There Is More That Meets The Eye, I See The Soul That Is Inside.

She Wants To Go Home, But Nobody's Home. That's Why She Lies, Broken Inside. With No Place To Go, No Place To Go, To Dry Her Eyes, Broken Inside.

When I'm Going Through Something That Has A Big Impact On My Life, It's Much Easier To Sing.

I Have A Look That Girls Want To Copy.

My Songs Aren't Bubble Gum Pop Dance Songs And I Don't Have Background Dancers On Every Single Song.

I'm Very Free-spirited And Crazy. I Love To Have Fun, And I Like Doing Stupid Things. At The Same Time, I'm Like A 35-year-old. I Have A House. I Have A Car. I Have A Steady Job. I Have A Business, And I Have To Make Serious Decisions.

I Might Look Like A Tough Chick - And I Am - But I`m Also A Hopeless Romantic Inside.

Hopeless Romantic

He Stuck A Camera Down My Throat....ewwww, I Gagged!!! It Was Kinda Funny Though.....he Said I Have "acute Laryngitis".

Like Two Rivers Flow To The Sea, Someday We'll Reunite For All Eternity.

My Heart Is Broken... I'm Lying Here My Thoughts Are Choking On You My Dear.

My Mom Made Me Go To A Britney Spears Concert When I Was Young. And I Was Like, 'no, I Don't Want To!' She Was Like, 'you're Going To Be A Performer, You Need To See Other People.'

I Feel Bad Because I Haven't Been Able To Say Anything To The Fans To Let Them Know Why I've Been Absent. I'm Torn As I'm Quite Private. I'm Not Feeling Well. I'm Having Some Health Issues. So Please Keep Me In Your Prayers.

I Sit Down With A Guitar Player And If There's A Situation I Feel Strongly About, Or A Guy That I've Been Thinking About Or If I'm Mad At A Guy, It Comes Out.

My Dream Was Always To Hop Up On Stage In Front Of My Fans Every Night And Perform.

I Have A Car. I Have A Steady Job. I Have A Business, And I Have To Make Serious Decisions.

Let The Rain Falling On Your Face Run Into Your Eyes. Can You See The Rainbow Now Through The Stormy Skies?

I Appreciate Everything That I Have, Versus Taking It For Granted.

Why Do You Have To Go And Make Things So Complicated.

Don't Turn Around. 'cuz You Will Get Punched In The Face. Don't Make This Worse. You've Already Gone And Got Me Mad. It's Too Bad, I'm Not Sad It's Casting Over. Just One Of Those Things You'll Have To Get Over It.

I Was Eating Bad Stuff. Lots Of Sugar And Carbs, Junk Food All The Time. It Makes You Very Irritated.

And You Fall, And You Crawl, And You Break, What You Get, And You Turn It Into Honesty And Promise You're Never Going To Find You're Faking, No No No.

Everything Is Always Spur-of-the-moment. All Of My Tattoos I Decide That Second And Do It.

Spur Of The Moment

I'm Famous, So I Can't, Like, Really Walk Around In Malls And Stuff Like That. I Don't Really Have As Much Privacy.

If You're Trying To Turn Me Into Something Else, It's Easy To See I'm Not Down With That.

I Know My Fans Look Up To Me And That's Why I Make My Songs So Personal; It's All About Things I've Experienced And Things I Like Or Hate. I Write For Myself And Hope That My Fans Like What I Have To Say.

I Can Be Very Shy...but When I'm Around People I Know, I Can Be Extremely Loud.

You're Who You Are And If People Don't Like Who You Are, All They're Going To Get Is Who You Are.
