"I used to get in fights with guys and kick the crap out of them."

"When I get really upset, I go to my guitar. I feel like its my therapist."

"Girls are strange. They have groups and don't want to let anyone else in.
I've had a hard time getting along with girls because of that."

"Oh, my God! I can't wait. I have so much to look forward to -
falling in love, getting married, having a house and family."

"(Gasp) Britney Spears fully clothed?"

"I get tired on the road. I've got Radio Disney to keep me company."

"I think that skater over there is SO CUTE!"

"I get all these loser preps coming up to me asking for autographs and all this crap, and I really want to tell them, 'My music is not for people like you!'"

"It's somthing about "S8ter Boi" that makes it so hard rock. Oh, I know! It's me singing on the f*cking track!"

"I write about whatever's on my heart."

"I'm a very emotional person and my talent is transferring my emotions on to paper. It's something I can just do. People may be in disbelief that I wrote it but I did."

"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'm going to be around for a while. I'm going to make tons of records and keep on writing music and performing and reaching fans."

"There was a guitar laying around the house and my Dad plays the guitar and I picked it up and very slowly taught myself to play it."

"I can ollie and sort of grind. I suck, but, I mean, I'm not a pro. But I just like doing it. It's fun."

"I write what I feel, I never worry about what others think. I'm gonna dress what's me, I'm gonna act what's me and I'm gonna sing what's me."

"I would love to work with Johnny Reznik from the Goo Goo Dolls, blink-182, and System of a Down -- that would rock!"

"I like wiping out and hurting myself and crying. And I like to show off my bruises. And, me and the guys just like to mess around on them, even though we all suck."

"I would describe my album as rock, pop, alternative... It's kind of all over the place. It's music with an edge."

"My butt-crack showing is like my trademark. I wear my pants loose, and lately I've been so busy I've lost a few pounds. My ass-crack is always showing!"

"I don't want to be no fake pop sh*t."

"Nick Carter wanted me to sing on his album but, you know, it's not really my thing. I'm not putting myself in the teen pop type of box."

"Michael Jackson freaks me out. What's with that fake nose?"

"Pink's pretty cool. She's just kinda like a poser."

"Christina Agu...who? I thought that w***e died!"

"People like Shakira shouldn't have record contracts. She cant even speak English."

"Britney Spears is such a hoe cake."

"Michelle Branch better watch her back."

"People like comparing me to Alanis. Sorry, I take baths."

"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."

"I'm not into gloss and glamour. It's soooo fake."

"I dress cool and I look hot, so if you don't like it suck it."

"I really hate preps."

"'Skater Boy' is one of the most hardest, rawest songs ever made. Alot of girls wish they could jam on the gutiar like I could, but they can't!"

"I think the Osbornes suck! Its a passing fad."

"I grew up on the mean streets of Canada and I had to survive."

"I mean, the way she dresses would you walk around the street in a f*ckin' bra? I'm not trying to dis anyone, but with me, the clothes I wear onstage are the clothes I would wear to school or go shopping. I'm not gonna go up onstage and dress different. Britney Spears goes up onstage and dresses like a showgirl. She's not being herself up there because she's dancing like a ho. Is she ho? She says she's a virgin. Y'know, it's just not clicking. She's doing one thing and saying another thing, y'know? It's definitely not what I'm going to do."

"Girls and guys can relate to my songs. They are deep and emotional. I wrote those lyrics when I was trying to survive."
