You're who you are and if people don't like who you are, all they're going to get is who you are.
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.
When I'm going through something that has a big impact on my life, it's much easier to sing.
I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think.
Hear me when I say I believe nothings gonna change destiny. Whatevers meant to be will work out perfectly.
I listen to all kinds of bands. I like rock music, like, male rock bands. I'm more into that instead of female singers. I like Nirvana, Green Day, System Of A Down. I also like punk rock, and I love bands like Coldplay.
i dont want to be compared to britney,ashlee,hilary or lindsay. i want to be compared to me.
I don't believe war is a way to solve problems. I think it's wrong. I don't have respect for the people that made the decisions to go on with war. I don't have that much respect for Bush. He's about war, I'm not about war - a lot of people aren't about war.
You were everything, everything that I wanted. We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it. And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away. All this time you were pretending. So much for my happy ending.
Every person faces their own unique challenges and you may not always know what others around you are going through.
You can't see the world through a mirror.
To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood.
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 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.
