Avril Lavigne displayed her uncanny ability for “diarrhea of the mouth” in a recent interview with Britain’s Q Magazine. Compliments of US Weekly:
On dealing with her incredible success:
“Selling 24 million albums hasn’t really affected me, but it has changed things. I can’t walk into a room full of people any more without everybody turning their heads, and I can only eat in certain restaurants where I know I won’t get hassled. But that’s OK. I was born to do this, and so I’ve learned how to cope.”
Whoa, whoa whoa, Avril. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. You were born to be a manufactured pop star? That’s like saying, “I was born to win the lottery!” Because when it boils down to it, any “size 2″ willing to dress like an ass and able to carry a tune over a heavily produced track probably would have done the job just peachy.
On her competition:
“Someone like Kelly Clarkson is beautiful and has a pretty voice, but with me you get a much stronger image. I’m tough, I have a look that girls want to copy, and I sound a particular way.
Avril you have a “look” people have been “copying” since well before anyone knew who the hell “Avril Lavigne” was. It’s called Hot Topic, you asshat.
On her generosity:
“I am a very giving person. When the hurricane thing happened, I went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, ‘Take it to Katrina!’”
Yes, despite having more money than she knows what to do with — Avril shells out her used clothing to those in need. Because I’m sure Katrina victims would rather have a bunch of pink fishnets, wife beaters, and neckties with skull and crossbones printed on them in lieu of say, food and money. What a fucking humanitarian.
On her polarizing personality:
“People love me and people hate me, but I’m comfortable in my own skin and that’s what counts. And anyway if you do hate me, you’re the loser, not me.”
Well Avril, you got me there — I certainly do hate you. But it must be “opposite day” or something — because last time I checked, I wasn’t the one with pink hair, a wiener husband and a plagiarized record.
