Avril Lavigne Motivational Quotations

Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.

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.

Inspiration for my music just comes from, you know, my life experiences.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 get built up and put on a pedestal and then people want to bring you down. It can be hurtful. Some people try to make me look bad or not a nice person but it's completely false.

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

I started singing in church and I was probably around seven and I started singing anywhere that I could. I used to sing at my school. I was in musicals and then it kind of got to a point where I started to - wanted to do my own songs.

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.

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

I have to fight to keep my image really me... I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me.

People are like, 'Well, she doesn't know the Sex Pistols.' Why would I know that stuff? Look how young I am. That stuff's old, right?

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 have a car. I have a steady job. I have a business, and I have to make serious decisions.

It's so ridiculous, I can barely stop. I can hardly breathe, you make me wanna scream. You're so fabulous, you're so good to me baby, baby.

Don't like me for who I am? Then you don't like me for who I am. And all you're gonna get is who I am.

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.
