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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneWhen I turn the lights out, when I close my eyes, reality overcomes me, I'm living a lie.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneDon'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.
Avril LavigneLet the rain falling on your face run into your eyes. Can you see the rainbow now through the stormy skies?
Avril LavigneIt'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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneYou'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
Avril LavigneI created Punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. That's what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneStaying 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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneYou'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
Avril LavigneEverybody hurts some days. It's okay to be afraid. Everybody hurts, everybody screams. Everybody feels this way.
Avril LavigneI have to fight to keep my image really me... I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me.
Avril LavigneAnd 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.
Avril LavigneYou're who you are and if people don't like who you are, all they're going to get is who you are.
Avril LavigneWell, 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.
Avril LavigneKeep 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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
Avril LavigneThis 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
Avril LavigneA 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.
Avril LavigneIt'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.
Avril LavigneIt'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.
Avril LavigneI 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.
