Avril Lavigne

“אני צריכה להילחם כדי לשמור על התדמית שלי באמת... דחיתי כמה צילומי פרסום מדהימים כי הם פשוט לא נראו כמוני.”

“אתה לא יכול להתלונן על הלחצים, הפפראצי, הטירוף. כי זו העבודה. תמיד הבנתי שזו העסקה.”

“באלבום הראשון שלי לבשתי הרבה מכנסיים של בנים, בגדים רחבים ודברים כאלה.”

“התחלתי לשיר בכל מקום שיכולתי. הייתי שרה בבית הספר שלי. הייתי במחזות זמר ואז זה קצת הגיע לנקודה שהתחלתי – רציתי לעשות את השירים שלי.”

“החיים הם כמו רכבת הרים, תחיו אותם, היו מאושרים, היהנו מהחיים.”

“I'm very free-spirited and crazy. I love to have fun, and I like doing stupid things. At the same time, I'm like a 35-year-old. I have a house. I have a car. I have a steady job. I have a business, and I have to make serious decisions.”

“Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.”

“You can't kick me down, I'm already on the ground. No, you can't, but you couldn't catch me anyhow.Blue skies, but the sun isn't comming out, no. Today, it is like I'm under a heavy cloud."Avril Lavigne (Runaway)”

“I 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.”

“We have parties at my house. My girlfriends and I play our iPods, with all of our favorite songs. We pick our songs and jump up on the counter and dance, and do runway stuff, and we take video with my camera. When I'm with my girlfriends, I act like I'm 19.”

“I 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.”

“I think I would probably die without my eyeliner, but besides that I'm pretty basic.”

“I was eating bad stuff. Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated.”

“On my first album I was wearing a lot of guys pants, baggy clothes and stuff like that. I was 17 and I was a little tomboy. And you would never see me wearing a dress or heels on my first record.”

“I'm very comfortable with how I look. I always have been. I think I look pretty good. There's nothing I want to change. I'm pretty happy with what I've got.”

“Well, 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.”

“I liked being a minor because you can't get into trouble. Now I just have to try and behave myself.”

“My songs aren't bubble gum pop dance songs and I don't have background dancers on every single song.”

“I'm the kind of person who always likes to be doing something.”

“I decorated my house like a medieval gothic castle, European-style. Chandeliers and red velvet curtains. My bedroom is pink and black, my bathroom is totally Hello Kitty, I have a massive pink couch and a big antique gold cross.”
