"I don't know what'd I do, I'm hanging out at 9 pm talking to kids on the internet, how can you even compare to that?" (what would he do if he weren't in mbt)

"Our concern is not only for the safety of our band and our crew, but, more importantly, for the well-being of our fans, whom we certainly do not want to put at risk just by coming out to see us play. As global citizens, not just as Americans, we also feel that it would be inappropriate to be doing gigs just as this conflict has begun. However, we are a touring band, and our commitment to playing live for our fans remains as strong as ever. We promise to cross the Atlantic and do these shows as soon as possible, and we thank everyone for their patience and understanding during this incredibly difficult time in world history."

"If you're in a band and you use the name of the band in a song, you're just a jerk."

"Kyle, were you sucking her toes?!"

"Aww sh...gosh darnit, good golly. And it's not easy being up here and watching your language, I just wanted America to know that."

"Hey Paul...break it down Paul........ahhhhhhh, duh! Yeah see, like that? that's nice and soft and quiet. Ah? Ahhh? Awwwwww......yeah, yeah."

"Is everybody glad they took a little time out of their everyday, out of the hustle and the bustle? The cars and the trucks?.......I wanna thank everyone for being so sweet."

"My goal has been to keep matchbox twenty going for as long as I can".

"You're not doing it because you wanna sell a million records. You're not doing it because you want anything at all. You're doing it cuz you love to make music. And if it happens, it happens."

"It's not so much that I get more respect, it's that I get less flak."

"If at first you don't succeed, then piss on it."

"Kyle's a little stud!"

"Every time I look up, there are just more and more of you fuckers out there!"(Atlanta, GA Aug 98)

"This next song is about...well, it's about fucking up. It's not about you, no, it's not about me. I am a stable motherfucker!"

"You know...right now...while you're here...you gotta forget all your shit at home."

"Hey buddy...this is my show ok..nobody fights at my fucking show...you have 22 hours this day to fight now is not the time."
