I think what defines our band is really that, you know, we're just living our dream and making records that we love and having a good time.

You find, as the years go on ...

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

Benji Madden 35 quotes

You're just these kids from a...

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.

I couldn't grow, like, any kind of facial hair at 17.

I've always been obsessed with girls.

Coffee in Italy and some places in Europe is great, but there's just something about Australian coffee.

The only time I only really made out with a girl in high school, my mom caught me.

Benji Madden 35 quotes

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.

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

When we were babies, mum had to dress one of us in one colour, like blue and green, and she'd put a little mark on our hand or toe... she definitely had to sort us out.

The guy who runs Big Day Out ...

The guy who runs Big Day Out doesn't like us for some reason; I don't even know why. We do all the other festivals, and we enquired about it. Who knows, maybe he'll eventually crack, but maybe not. We're just going to keep knocking on his door late at night saying, 'Come on, dude!'

I think it's a known fact that Joel and I have always loved Australia since we started coming here 13 or 14 years ago. Everyone knows we love it here. Our only concern is will we wear our welcome out?

We can guarantee you that 15 to 30 seconds of any of our songs are going to be good. The rest, we can't guarantee.

Benji Madden 35 quotes

It's hard to talk about child...

It's hard to talk about childhood trauma. It's hard to talk about depression. It's hard to talk about anxiety. And we thought - I wonder if we just open up our subconscious and the things that we think about and hide from people every day and just let them come out in some of these lyrics.

Maryland is such a special place, man... You miss that warm, friendly love. It ain't like that everywhere else in the world.

We've made a lot of party music; we're definitely not Thom Yorke. But there's also depth to our records; we get emotional.

'Nevermind' by Nirvana. That was a big one for me.

We were all 16 and 17. When you're that age, you're just daydreaming all day. We had bands we loved - Green Day, Weezer, a lot of bands in the '90s - and we just wanted to have fun. We didn't overthink it too much.

Benji Madden 35 quotes

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.

Benji Madden 35 quotes

'Life Changes' is a song that...

'Life Changes' is a song that we feel really connects to the spirit of our band and our fans. It's got that positive vibe we always want to put out there, and the message - no matter how many times you get knocked down, always get back up - will forever be part of the GC story.
