I was later told who did it. To this day, they don’t know I know. There is power in that. It is powerful to know something and just keep it with you … - Avril Lavigne

I’ve gone through so much, (referring to Lyme disease and divorce from Chad Kroeger) it put things in perspective and showed me how much the small things in life—friends, love, family, just your health—matter the most. (Referring to the debuting of album Head Above Water) It gave me a purpose, and made me find myself all over again. I'd give anything just to relax with a glass of wine 'cause it just means so much to me. There's still a part of me that loves punk rock.

I get all these loser preps coming up to me asking for autographs and all this crap, and I really want to tell them, 'My music is not for people like you!

I don’t believe in having one foot in, one foot out. If you are going to do something, give your 100 per cent to it and if it doesn’t work, that’s fine, but you don’t want it not to work because you were not committed and later wonder, ‘what if I had put in a little more effort?’
