It's me! It's me! It's always me! [Darren when asked who smelled so good at the MTV Live interview in New York]

Let me give you a lesson about school. All the kids who were popular end up on the dole with babies. All the nerds end up as pop stars

I was a completely normal kid, the school nerd. In Year 8 and 9 I got picked on. I was a freak- no one understood me. I was the kid who wanted to be abducted by ET. Then all the losers left in Year 10. But I was quite good at school, and very artistic. In Year 11 it turned around. I became one of the coolest kids in school. I was in school musicals- the kid who could sing. It was bizzare. I loved school. It's an amazing little world. The rules inside the school are different from the outside world.

Elation and pain are experiences that make you realize youre alive. Thank God you feel them; otherwise youd be numb.

If you want me to be straight, gay, into monkeys, dating Kylie, whatever, I'm happy for people to project whatever onto me!

I would let my child do whatever made their heart sing

Dont believe the hype. It tastes like someone scraped off the bottom of a birdcage and stuck it on a piece of toast.
