I think in South America people are very, uh, they have no inhibitions and wear their hearts on their sleeves - what's the word? They're very expressive, demonstrative.

I felt that by the late '90s, I'd gone as far as I could with the keyboard.

It's impossible to capture every single facet of someone's personality in a film.

I'd had to cope with a lot of death and illness in my family from a young age, and that maybe gave me a bleak outlook on the world.

If you have a bereavement in your family, it's a terrible, terrible thing. But, you know, time passes. It's part of the cycle. It doesn't hurt so much.

I'm terrible with decisions. And I can't make myself do something I don't like. I can't knuckle under.

I think every day how incredibly lucky it is that I travel around the world playing to thousands of people.

I like a challenge. I like learning new skills because I didn't learn much at school.

With guitar, bass and drums, you've got limited horizons.

If you choose to take a path in life, don't blame other people for the path you've chosen to take.

A lot of time, I have to be the person who just goes, 'Hey dude, don't even trip. Don't worry about it.'

You find, as the years go on and you have some success, people kind of start to say yes when they should say no.

I read all the reviews. I remember the first review I ever read about our band was, 'They'll be gone tomorrow; they'll be gone quicker than they came.'

You're just these kids from a small town. You get a record deal, and everything just goes so fast. In the span of five albums... in a way, the band that you started in your bedroom, or your basement or your garage, kind of becomes not your band anymore. It becomes something bigger than you could have known. No one really prepares you.

We were kids that didn't have any education. None of our parents were in the music business or even college graduates. We didn't have someone guiding us. We were just uneducated kids from the middle of nowhere that suddenly had a band going around the world.

The American Dream - I believe in that cliche because I know what having nothing feels like.

We became a really good gateway band for all the kids that went on to love My Chem or Fall Out Boy.

We didn't leave home until we graduated high school, but when we did, we genuinely left. We went out into the world with 50 bucks, backpacks, and acoustic guitars.

As young kids, we had a lot of tenacity. Life was tough at home, so it was easy to go out in the world and try.

There's an interesting thing I've seen with Australian bands: when you put them side-by-side with bands from other parts of the world, they're just more musical. They're just better.

It does feel really good when you play a new song, and it's the loudest singalong of the night. It means just as much when we're playing the old songs, and people are singing along to those, too.

Good Charlotte, for us, comes from a place of youth for us, back when we were struggling and fighting for every inch, just trying to get by.

Australian bands are so self-deprecating - then they go on stage and blow every other band off the stage.

Jessie J's a funny, funny woman. What she does is she reels you in.
