Billy:
"Sure thing sweetie!"
Some
Other Person: "Hey Billy! Can ya sign my ass?"
Billy:
"There will be no ass signing tonight. I'm sorry for the inconvenience..."
A
Girl: "Sign my jacket."
Billy:
"Are you sure? This is a nice jacket."
Other
Girl: "Christa, your mom will KILL you."
The
Girl: "It's my jacket, just sign it Billy."
The
Other Girl: "It was 50 dollars!"
Billy:
"Oh my God! This was fifty dollars? Are you sure? I don't want to get in trouble!"
Billy: You ever
think about saucepans?
Joel: Saucepans? Um... no.
Billy: Me neither.
(When asked who sleeps the most...)
"Benji always claims of being an insomniac, but i swear as soon as we go on the van, he's like dead asleep."
"What! There goes my heart walking down
the street."
"Why dont you
come in the picture with me... it'll be more special that way."
"Princess!"
(When
asked who spends the most time on his hair) "Joel...well, no, Joel cares the most about his hair, but it
takes Benji the longest when he does it."
"Hey, guys.
You ready for some rock and roll?"
"I like to hang
outside and meet new friends, otherwise I'd be in the dressing room right now all bored and stuff."
"You don't want
to go near the inside of that, our van stinks!"
"Oh, I thought
you wanted a hug!"
"If you want
me to wait, I will wait for you" You figure its a nice love song but Benji swears its about his dog!"
"I'm not famous,
you all are just crazy."
"We spend a majority
of the show after the playing just walking around the crowd and meeting kids. Kids are like "Why do you do this?" And we all
say, "Well, if it wasn't for you guys, we'd be nothing." It's like it makes sense to us just to hang out 'cause we like to."
"I don't really
think there is such a thing as a band selling out."
"As far as favorite foods go, I'm
a vegetarian. If I had to choose a favorite food, it would be peanut butter."
"I'm really into girls that try
to be a little different from everybody else but are very classy at the same time."
"Picture? SURE! You want a picture?
Let's take a picture!"
"Before I started playing music
I was really into art. I've been drawing since I was very young and if I weren't in a band I'd probably be an animator or
a comic book artist."
"I don't know
what I had for breakfast today. It was like... something with wood. I don't know."
"..for the most
part I'm like a metalhead. I like heavy stuff, or I like fuckin Nirvana or a lot of the grunge stuff is what I like."
"I'm scared of cops."
"Like
this?" (About how to make the "Phil face")
"I murdered
Paul's entire family."
"I would
be Ken so I could be getting up on Barbie all day."
"I'm a goody goody. I never do bad things."
"And now, I'm going to go to the bathroom. And no, you can't follow me in there!"
"Ooh, that's some good shit, I mean, stuff..."
"I like to hang outside and meet new friends, otherwise I'd be in a dressing room right now all
bored and stuff."
"You don't want to go near the inside of that, our van stinks!" "The first concert I went to was New Kids
On the Block, but don't tell the other guys because I'll get my butt kicked!"
"When I'm home I usually go to the mall. Sometimes kids will come up and be like, "Oh I love
your band" ... but half the time no one even knows who I am. It's the same old life."
"It's totally like a mini-Warped tour. The Warped Tour is such a good vibe, ehe only problem is you're playing
outside and it's dirty and gross. So, it's like we're just taking the Warped Tour into a cleaner place."
"Benji likes
to match his hair with his underwear and we caught him in a pink thong once. We videotaped it."
"Uhhh, I'm not into mohawks, but I definitely
wouldn't go with a mullet, so I guess I'd have to go with a mohawk I guess." (when asked whether he would prefer a chick with
a mullet or mohawk)
"Paul's really good at bass. I think the problem is that we're not really good at playing guitar
so we need other things to occupy us." (talking about why he started Level27)
"I'm a goody goody. I never do bad things."
"I don't dislike too many things except for snakes!
I don't have much of a tolerance for really fake people either. Another thing I hate is when St. Paul (Paul's Nickname) touches
my... Never mind, I'm actually pretty content with everything."
"I say we were all probably the non-football player,
super academic type of people." (When asked what kind of people they were in highschool)
"My biggest one [influence] would be Silverchair,
it's probably the reason why I play music, because when they were like fifteen and did their first record I was like, fourteen
and I was like, "Oh man, if they can do it, I can do it", and I've been following that band like obsessively since that day."
"I used to just watch cartoons. Sit in front of
the tv and watch cartoons with a piece of paper and a pencil. I would draw every cartoon character. I wanted to work for Disney
really bad and be an animator. I'd sit around and draw all day long. I never really went out and played in the woods with
a bunch of snakes under rocks. I was scared of snakes. I was pretty little so I would just sit around and draw. That's all
I really did. I listened to "It's not easy being green" by Kermit on a record player in my headphones every single day. That
was big on my list." (Talking about what he was like as a kid)
