Quotes
“I don’t want a fake image.” well, sorry, you have one.

“Even before I knew what, like, a record was, I knew I was going to make one.”
That makes a lot of sense, Avril. It’s like me walking into a hospital and performing brain surgery. “I don’t know how to do this, but it’s okay.. Avril knew she was going to make a record before she knew what it was…”

“School teaches you what to do with your life. I already knew.”
Hmmm… Okay. I want to be a surgeon, like before… I already know, so why not just walk in and perform brain surgery.

“Not a pop star! A rock star!”
Avril, get over it. You are POP. Your music is slower than Britney’s. Half the songs on your album could fit on Mariah Carey’s album if you just move the notes up higher.

She met some “great people who respected me as an artist.”
They have to. They are getting paid to be in your company.

“I’m not into glamour and gloss. It’s soo fake.”
This is probably the easiest quote of hers to find.

“I’ll put mascara and lipstick on them [band mates, who ARE boys…], or add a little cover-up to their zits.”
Hmmm… and here I thought she HATED glamour and gloss…

“I wear ties because they’re supposed to be for boys.”
Yes, she is trying to be a rebel. She has reasons for her clothing. Why not just say, “I wear ties to be different,” Avril. You basically just said that anyway…

“I have my own style.” T
hat no one in their right mind would want, and that now a million brainwashed seven year olds have.

“The best mascara is Maybelline©. The one that is pink, and has a green top. Every makeup artist has it.”
Oh, but how would you know? You HATE glamour and gloss…

“I knew when I was 10 that I was going to be a writer somehow.”
Wait a second. That thing about the cheerios? Or how about “he was a boy, and she was a girl..” yes. That’s very nice, avril. So he was a boy? How about that? Oh yes the line, “I might have fallen for that when I was 14, and a little more green,” definitely deserves an award.

“When I write, I don’t just try to make it sound good.”
Yes, we all figured that out after hearing “sk8ter boi” or however she decided to spell it…

“But with Johnny [Rzeznik], first of all, I think he’s really hot.”
This is how we should all pick our idols. On how they look. Doesn’t matter what they sound like.

[After being asked if she considers herself to be a feminist] “I don’t really know what that is.”
Maybe she should have stayed in high school.

“I’ve never bought a CD in my life. The first one I got was a FAITH HILL CD my parents gave me.”
She sure did grow up on rock music… Somehow I can see her coming up with something like, “oh yeah, they did buy me that, but I never wanted it or listened to it.” I don’t think parents go around buying you CDs you don’t want. They are on a budget, too!

“I started listening to music what I was twelve, and I’m still learning what I like.”
If you only started listening to music when you were about twelve, then was that whole “sang on a gospel record when I was 10” thing a lie? Gospel music is still music.

“I have my [wedding] dress picked out in my head. It’s gonna be really poufy and around the stomach it will be tight. I think I want my back to show.”
I thought she was NEVER gonna dress like a britney… hmmm

“And I want one of those things on my head that the guy has to lift up when he goes to kiss you.”
It’s a veil. I still say she should have stayed in high school.

“It gets really hard to sit there and talk about yourself over and over again, and answer the same questions everyday.”
You chose that lifestyle, better get over it. Now I truly understand “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.”
Continued: “It’s mentally draining, and when you answer the questions the same exact way, it’s just a weird place to be.”
I think she’s trying to sound smart with the “mentally draining” thing, and that last part didn’t make sense.

[next to a picture of avril holding red shoes on her head.] “I know you’re not supposed to wear them on your head, but that’s what makes me so punk rock!”
I swear, when I first saw this on a website, I thought they were just messing with her words. But then, while at a friend’s house, I actually saw this. I didn’t think some one could be so ignorant as to label themselves “punk rock” because they have shoes on their head. Wow. (picture is below)
