| "No one actually comes up to me and says "your not punk"--but if they did I'd be like 'I never fucking said I was" "I dont write 'oh baby baby' songs. I'm a punk skater who writes guitar driven rock." "I'm so glad that arista let me have, like, a real live band to bring all over with me because its so cool and so much fun" "I really hate preps" "Pinks pretty cool, shes just kind of a poser" "People like shakira shouldn't have record contracts. she cant even speak english" "I had a problem in highschool with the preps not liking the skaters" "Christina agu...who? I thought that whore died" Nobody understands where I'm coming from. I was the only punk at my school" "I came up with the whole tie thing" |
| Offended by the word... she cringes. It has been stated in news articles that this "punk rawk skater" hates it been people say she will become a big pop star. "No" she corrects, "rock star. It's more of my thing, I'm not pop." Of course I'd date both of them because they're hot! My teachers made me feel dumb, but school isn't the only measure of intelligence or talent. I'm 17 and I can write songs--I'm not dumb. Some people see my age and think I'm just another "pop chick". |
| I don't write "Oh baby, baby" songs. It's gonna be stadiums. I started skateboarding the summer before 11th grade. I was good. |
| "I hate makup and shit like that, if you wanna express urself do it in your music." "If you don't like who I am, then you don't like you I am. But all you're gonna get, is who I am." "I write about whatever's on my heart." "My music is true rock." "When I write a song, I sit down with the guitar and write about what I'm feeling at that time. It just comes out." "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'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 � my Dad plays the guitar � and I picked it up and very slowly taught myself to play it." "I would love to work with Johnny Reznik from the Goo Goo Dolls, blink-182, and System of a Down -- that would rock!" "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!" |
| If she wasn't a singer, she'd be "A police officer. I like having authority and I'd like walking the beat, and I'm a fighter so the crimefighting thing appeals to me." "I'm my own person-there's no one else in the world out there like me." From Making the Video: "I like to wear my own clothes in videos cause i feel more comfortable in them." "I like to express myself in songs, I mean I wrote my entire album......well cowrote my entire album." Judy Lavigne (aka Avril's mom): "Who were we to stop her?" "It's a touchy subject," Avril say of her punk-rock cred. "People are like, 'Well, she doesn't know the Sex Pistols.' Why would I know that stuff?" (It's BASIC musical knowledge. You don't have to be "punk" to know WHO the Sex Pistols are.) |
