Quotes by Joel Madden
Music is supposed to be an escape. It's supposed to be somewhere you go, where you can be yourself, or be whatever you want to be.
Elijah Wood from Lord Of The Rings can’t get married with a girl named Holly beacause it would make Holly Wood get it HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our goal is to write memorable songs. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting closer. Each time we sit down to write, we have hopes of coming up with something that will be remembered forever. That’s our dream.
Those people who shun us just because of the label we’re on, or the fact that we’ve got a video out there that’s getting us somewhere, are only limiting themselves, because they aren’t keeping an open mind.
My mom is Christian, and she wouldn’t let us listen to rock music. So me and my brother, we had this tape player with head phones, and we locked ouselves in the pantry. We were fighting over the headphones, sitting in the dark pantry listening to Metallica.
I don’t want to see anyone leaving single tonight. I want everyone to leave impregnated.
