Joel's Quotes. 'It makes me feel good. I wish I could do more, be as involved as Bono, maybe 1 day. He's like 1 of my idols as far as that goes.' - Joel talking about helping kids from 'Make A Wish Foundation.' The 1st couple of years I was hooked up. It was like the 1st time girls liked me & I was like, 'Wow'. Now I don'teven hook up. You've seen 1, you've seen them all. You know al this 'hard work'? It ain't no thang. 'Everybody says that, I never really think about it we're just us. We're the nicest guys in the world' - A Journalist commenting on Joel's politeness. 'Pretty laid back.' - Joel describing himself. 'He's crazier than I am, I just sit back & watch. We've been like that since we were really young. Benj would always get in fights & he'd always be the 1 getting arrested.' - Joel talking about Benji. 'This 1 time we got evicted from our house & smartass kids would say shit about that. Kids can be cruel...it makes you tough, though.' - Joel talking about when him, Benji & the rest of their family. 'There was nothing for us there for me & Benj. We'd had it & were just ready to do something with our lives. We were in a pretty rough situation there & we weren't happy.' - Joel talking about him & Bneji moving out of there family home. 'I worked in a hair salon for a bit. I shampooed hair. It was a really nice place to work because there was always mad, hot girls around, so I'd just hang out & talk to them. Actually I wasn't even very good at shampooing I was kind of like furniture!' - Joel talking about 1 of his jobs when him & Benji left their family home. 'Just because it sounded cool at the time.' - Joel talking about why they called their band 'Good Charlotte'. I didn't even think that I could become a singer, or someone in a band. When I was younger, I always thought that you had to be a certain kind of person to be a musician, like you'd always do that from the day you were born. When I was little, all I knew was that I wanted to be rich! 'We shot it in New Zealand & you see that old lady right there? (poining to a woman dressed up as Avril Lavigne) she was 85 years old!' - Joel talking about GC's song 'Girls & Boys'. When girls scream at us or whatever, we just think they must have the wrong band. When you think of a pin-up, you think someone like Robbie Williams not us! 'I don't even know who told you that but I swear that only happened the 1 time! Plus we do way crazier stuff than that. That's nothing.' - A Journalist talking to Joel about him & the rest of GC running around malls in scary masks terrorising unwitting shoppers. 'We got the whole thing on film, Dude, we've got some pretty funny footage.' - Joel talking about a prank him & the rest of GC done on a stranger. A couple of times before we've been refused entry to places because of the way we look. That's fine by me, I don't want to go anywhere where I can't be nyself. I am what I am. I'm not changing for nobody. 'Hey, look my spit is Frappuccino coloured!' - Joel talking about his spit after when he spat over the side of a building. We began Good Charlotte for fun, & to get us out of a hole. There were times when I thought I was a loser. It took us 8 years to get a record deal, but being in this band has changed our lives. Back in the USA, me & my brother have got our own show & we use it to promote new bands that wouldn't get played. I despite Daniel Bedingfield! Put this Oasis CD on. 'Fuck what you heard' - Joel describeing GC in 4 words. 'I haven't watched it, I've just seen it on magazine covers. Isn't that sad, when you know it even though you haven't watched it. It's the same thing with big pop names like Britney Spears; you don't have their records but you know everything about them because they're evrywhere.' - Joel talking about American Pop Idol. 'If we had time I think each 1 of us would be in a movie! but we're still be together making records.' - Joel talking abouthim & the rest of GC acting in movies. I've just shit my pants. I'm wearing a tie I've never worn a tie before. We're looking for color, style, size, texture, you know the thickness, the breathability of the shirt. I don't think we're gonna win any awards, if I could win 1 , if I could pick 1, I'd chose Veiwer's Choice just because it would be our fans calling in, that would mean the most to us because it's not just some panel or some people voting for it, it's kids voting for it. We're going to be movie stars, wooo. Joel- 'You can't fucking talk you gotta let it scan' Chris- 'Shut Up.' Interviewer: What next would you like to see happen for Good Charlotte? Joel: Be the biggest band in the world! Interviewer: Do you have any special talents? Joel: (Shakes his head) No, Im just in the band "You know some kids like to watch 50 year olds rock" "Im flattered but Im more embarrassed because its probably a bad picture. Why would they wear mine when they could wear Jordan from New Found Glory or Mike from MXPX, or any of the good looking guys in tour" "I cant wear glasses cause Im a kluz" "Bloody Barbie" (on what Barbie he would be) "15-year-olds singing about asses, dosent get any better than that" "Yeah yeah, that was a traumatic experience, hes so awful, god awful. Especially that solo thing he did. He needs to be burned alive!"(On meeting Nick Carter)

Benji's Quotes. "A bunch of people laughed & stuff because it smelt so bad, but man, that place needed livening up. Some of the people in there were just so stuck & miserable." - Benji talking about when Quinn from The Used & himself dropped a stink bomb in a exclusive night club in London. Person: "Alotta people have that tattoo *points to spiderweb looking tattoo on his elbow* What does it mean?" Benji: "You usually get it when you murder someone." Person: "Benji! You murdered someone?!" Benji: (laughing and whispering) "Well, I can't tell you that. No, I'm just kidding, I didn't murder anyone. It's tradition to get the tattoo." "And Brad Pitt's name spelled backwards is DARB!" "And while we're here in Orlando, we have to give a shout out to our buddies N*SYNC!" A person told him that he backed into a parked car on the way to a show and he said... Benji: "Are you okay?" Person: "Yeah, I'm fine! " Benji: "Are you SURE you're okay?!" "Average guys from D.C." - Benji describing GC in 4 words. "Awww. Thanks, you get a hug for that!" "Beat it!!" "Because I care, because I love you. Because it's a must. Because, BECAUSE YOU NEED CLEAN SOCKS!" (to Joel) Interviewer: "Benji, with all your piercings have you got your 'Prince Albert' done?" Benji: "Ahahahahahaha...(innocently) Who's Prince Albert?..." "Black nailpolish didn't come with testosterone." "Call me a mama's boy, I don't care." "Can I open this now?" *Hands me the pen* "Can I please have It?" *puppy dog face* Interviewer: "Can you dance?" Benji: "I can freak" "Christina Aguilera tired to make out with me... and I shut her down!" (imitating Joel) "C'mon, everyone put your hands in the air and sway them back and forth. Let's get a big hippie, we are the world thing going on!" "Corruption? What's that? No, we probably corrupted each other." "Did I mention I'm allergic to everything?" "Did we mention we know John from Goldfinger?" Interveiwer: "Did you ever watch Sesame Street and, if you did, who was your favorite character?" Benji: "No, I didn’t watch it. I watched Mr. Rogers though. That guy is creepy." Benji: "Do the kids fight over who gets to help you in the kitchen?" Lady: "NO" Benji: "Ah, man! When we were little we always fought over who got to help my mum." Lady: "Really?" Benji: "Yeah, 'Cos if you get to help mom you get to lick the spoon!" Interveiwer: "Do you get along with the other band members?" Benji: "Not at all. They’re all assholes. As soon as I find some other guys to replace them with, they’re out. Nah, we’re all friends. We all get along. Joel and I are best friends" "Dude,get serious,we're gonna get fired" "Ever since I was young, I knew I was gonna have full-sleeved tattoos. I'm always into shock." "Everybody clap!" "Eyeliner! Always comes in handy" Benji: "For me?" Person: "If you squeeze it, it sings the twilight zone song." Benji: "Come here you get a hug!" "Getting beat." (on his best childhood memory) "Good Charlotte is the name of a children's book, just this weird, freaky little book..." "Good Charlotte's for the kids!!!" "Good evening boys and girls! Welcome to the Nutcracker. This is Rob Tim, I will crack your nuts. Today I'm going to teach you a little lesson about life, the Rob Tim way." "Growing up definately sucked. But if it wasn't for all of that stuff, we wouldn't have started our band." "Have we ever murdered a boy band? YES! There was a band called P-Town, and we shot them!" "He's what you call a loser folks. A loser." (Speaking about Joel in high school.) Person: "Hey Benji, were you doing drugs before the show?" Benji: (Laughter) "Nah, I don't do drugs." Little Kid: "Hey Benji, will you sign my report card?" Benji: (Looks around and trys not to laugh.) "Wow, that's really good!" "Hey guys, I have some bad news for you. We were backing out of the parking lot & I think we ran over Lil Bow Wow. Sorry, our bad." "Hey, you guys wanna know Joel's middle name? Wanna know Joel's middle name? Joel's middle name is Reuben!" "Hold on, you can make fun of me when I'm done making my point." "Hooked on Phonics worked for me!" Interveiwer: "How did you all meet?" Benji: "It’s a weird story actually. We were all going to your mom’s house. We all got there at the same time and met on the porch" Interveiwer: "Oh really...." Benji: "Yeah! No, we met in high school" Interveiwer: "I like the other story better" Benji: "Me too" "I actually remember when my mother saw us play for the first time with you know our band, i think the words were why me she ran out screaming and crying." "I always got caught. One time, I actually got spanked for something Joel did." "I am thinking about getting a job here." (about Wet Seal) "I bet they did the dirty-dirty! Go Justin, go Justin!" (Talking about Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's break-up) "I can disappear watch" *get up out of his seat and leaves* "I did more Labour work, like unloading trucks & stuff" - Benji talking about what sort of jobs he done before GC became famous. "I don't have a phone." "I don't know how your gonna take this, but Santa Claus isn't real, Bro..." "If I wasn't in the band, I'd be in jail." "I fell off the stage and all my clothes fell off! And I wet my pants... but they fell off, so I couldn't wet them, so it must have been the kid standing next me." "I forgot to shave my legs today!" "If you're not pregnant, I want you going home pregnant." "I got all the hoes." "I have a confession to make: I love making out. It's fun and innocent. And besides, you can't get pregnant from making out." "I haven't had a shower in 4 days, I guess that makes me more punk." "I have to go do MY nails now!" "I hope my allergies don't act up..." (In a nasaly voice...) "I like to rip tags off mattresses." "I'm agoraphobic... I just want someone to love me." "I'm a vegan, well, 90% of the time I am. I just want to help the animals." "I'm gay anyway" - Benji's being sarcastic if you're a bit worried. "I'm gonna go... walk... into traffic." "I'm learning Italian right now. 'Grazie.'" Girl: "I'm only coming to the night show" Benji: "What?! There goes my heart walking down the street" (During "Seasons") "I'm really feelin' those lighters..." (like Fred Durst in the song "Outside") *Silence* "Oh, come on! That was supposed to be funny!" "I'm sick, kind of dark & self-destructive, almost like a good/bad twin situation? 'Probably.'" "I'm the self-proclaimed leader of the band! Self-proclaimed." "I'm too lazy." "I need to put on some deodorant." "I pulled my own pants down and put it on myself and said 'you guys leave me alone.'"

I'd buy six cars." "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" "Mother says I need to try to look more respectable." "Music has just become more than I ever thought it would ever be. It’s my life now. It’s kind of like a tool and I really think it’s like a prism. Every musician and songwriter is sort of filtering through the same stuff, but it’s all coming out in different ways. When you look at a prism at different angles, the light is always gonna be a little different. Each musician might filter in a different way. I have a really big respect for people who do music. Even if I don’t like it, I respect they are making music and working hard." "My ass smells like Joel." "My last name is rock n' roll, actually my last name is scum." (Say it really slow) "My mom doesn't approve of my tattoos. She says it's got to stop." He looks down at his rainbow-coloured arms & glances up smiling. "Erm..."

Thank you very much for all the kids who believe in Good Charlotte." Benji- "No I will not do the sex scene with Demi Moore, she's going out with Ashton Kutcher." Joel- "...Yeah I got the phone call about Demi...I realise this, no he's not doing the scene for us." Benji- "I told you I can't do the Brad Pitt picture, I gotta do the Johnny Depp film. I don't care if you said 20 million." "No matter what they say, you did good." "Not too long ago, we put shit on a $10 bill & placed it on a ATM machine & then, like 2 minutes later we watched this guy pick it up & put it in his pocket!" Joel: "Oh Edgefest 2, how I love thee..." Benji: "...with your poo poo and your pee pee..." "One egg, one sperm, two babies!." "One time I pierced Paul’s butt cheeks together.'' "One time I ripped all of Billy’s toenails off." "One time I ripped Joel’s nipples off!" "One time they shot me!" "One time we cut Billy’s arm off."

Or, or there was this one time we drove up to fast food places, ordered tons of food, paid for it, then drove off before we got it." "Our car is weighed down with crazy hoes!"

"Sorry mom I like to makeout!" "So you can buy these at any craft store?" "State your position." "Steve Feinberg took the little GC seed and maximized it. Steve was the pit bull we needed. He's more than our manager." "Stop watching them making out!" "Thanks to Burt Backarach, red wine and candlelight and most of all thanks to my parents for doing it." "That performance really moved me...I gotta go now." "That's funny, we were just talking about sex!" "Thats ok Joel you keep my socks but I'm keeping your dildo!" "That's surprising [that I smell good] seeing I haven't showered in... three weeks." "There's a lot of girls in the world but the only kind I can settle with is a punk rock chick." "There's no room for rock stars in this band. What's cool about shitting on people?" "They symbolizt that I can do what I want. Thery ensure that I will never work a regular job" (Talking about his tattoos & piercings) "They used to call him Joely Moley." "This is Joel at the mall... 'Hey girl, who you with? You ever heard that song 'Little Things'? Yo, that's about me, girl... Awww yeah..." "This is the get better sign." "This is the makeout song. Although you should ask the person first, 'cause I've had some troubles with that before." (during Seasons) "This one time, Joel was too scared to ask a girl to a dance so he had me call her up and pretend I was him, and she said no and then she said 'This isn't Joel is it?' and I said, 'No it's Benj!'" "To have a good influence on the world and kids.

I grew up in Waldorf. Single white male. Enjoys long walks on the beach. In search of someone sensitive and caring for conversation, friendship, possible serious relationship, coffee, or a good book." "We actually grew up Amish." "We don't really consider ourselves a punk rock band. Punk rock is suppose to be anti-clique, but these days, even punk rock has gotten cliquey." "We feel really lucky right now, especially because we're so young. We feel like we can do anything, nothing can hold us back, and we've got a lot of energy." "We had our 1st band practise about 2 weeks after I started playing guitar, I only knew 3 chords." "We like to go to shopping malls and harrass people." "We need wives or husbands so that we can stay in Australia." "We promised we'd let you guys ask us whatever you want today, just nothing too personal, my mom's watching. Yes Mom, I'm still a virgin!" "We're all gonna run around naked and make animal noises!" "We're from Waldorf, Maryland. & People from Waldorf don't get nominated for VMA's, so it's pretty weird." "We're going to be performing 'The Anthem' which is 1 of my favourite songs off our record." "We're just kinda the awkward guys who play music." "We're kids from Waldorf." "We're making fun of the whole thing, of all the girls & the boys that live in that whole world. We're not singing about every single girl, just that specific kind of girl.' - Benji talking about GC's song 'Girls & Boys'." "We're not the type of band that's too cool for school." "We're not very good at the whole rock star thing." "We rented a car while we are here at the studio and I already put a huge scratch on the side." "We started this band in our garage in a place called Waldorf, Maryland about 8 years ago." "We stole all of Paul's clothes and made him play naked." "We usually say this is the 'Makeout Song' but our mom is here!" 'We want to give fans hope, just to let them know it's never worth taking your own life' "We want to give kids something to hope for. If one kid says 'Your CD helped me get through this year' that's all it takes." "We were put together by the label. We had to try out in a gymnasium. No, I'm just kidding. That's how the Backstreet Boys got together!" (about how GC was formed) "What's my officail statement? My official statement is......that I've been wearing the same underwear for the past 4 days." Interveiwer: "What’s your favorite place to eat in California?" Benji: "Your mom’s house!! No, just kidding. Actually, outside on the sidewalk. I like to spread my food around and make people walk around me.......No, I like El Pollo Loco....and Rubio’s!" "When I meet girls I like, I throw up on them!" "When we fight, it's not about things you think we'd fight about, like music. It's about like, I'll wear Joel's socks and he'll be like, 'Dude... dude... I told you not to wear my socks, dude... You know I like my socks... Benji... Dude, oh are those my boxers, too? Dude ooh.. Ohh do you have to go there? Dude... dude!' And then we're, like, in the studio in this really important part of the song and I'll be like 'What do you think we should do?''I don't care.. are those my boxers? DUDE!" (on fighting with Joel) "When we hear the nominations like it's the biggest people in the world the chances of us winning we think aren't good but just being included it's like you know, we didn't get invited to any parties when we were younger." "Where do you work?" Interviewer: "Would you ever consider turning in your instruments to learn choreography and become a boy band?" Benji: "Umm... after you shot me in the head." "Yea on our day off we went to Disney for our first time and Joel was like a little kid. he was like come on guys we have to hurry to space mountain. And this morning when I walked in the bathroom I swear I heard him singing When you wish upon a star." "Yeah of course, the boxers are yummy and its the bacon that gets the gals! No wait...its the other way around..." "Yeah, we got kicked out of Limp Bizkit... Yeah, who's laughing now?? Huh??" "You just cursed on the radio!" (Said to Joel.) "You know, I just like to keep it all in the family." (after being accused of relations with Joel) Benji: "You know, personally, I haven't had any problems with being married and being on tour." Joel: "You're not married." Benji: "...oh." "You know who else likes making out? Sum 41... I know from experience...or at least my friend does." "You're on your own Biatch!"

I never played with Barbie dolls..." "BILLY DRIVES LIKE AN OLD GRANDMA" Person: "Can I have a hug?" Paul: "Only If I can hug you." "Cash? He's a...um a pit bull?" "Come guys sing.

Paul: "I'd be a farmer" "If you ever make me do that again, i will punch you in the face and make you bleed." "I met this girl once, she was an awesome boxer. She always came out of fights clean. Then I found out that she wasn't exactly a girl..." "I'm the bass player. No one has a crush on the BASS player!" "I never was your favorite! You never wanted my boxers!" "It's OK, nobody's as much of a psycho as I am." "I used to take piano lessons when I was a kid. One time, I farted during a lesson, and my teacher never came back to my house." "I wasn't popular in school. I liked to pretend I was, and I would go sit with the cool kids. Then they'd tell me to go fuck myself, and I would realize what a loser I was." "I went from band member to extra like that. Story of my life." "Look, I know a crossdresser when I see one." (on Justin Timberlake) "My dream is to go home and stay there."

So, the next day, I tripped her on her heels and I don't know what happened to her. I think she died... I don't know." "Watch out I might have rabies!" "You don't have to be athletically inclined to write down basketball scores." "You have beautiful handwriting..." "You know what toy I wish I still had? Nintendo Techmo Super Bowl. I was the fat kid growning up, and when you're the fat kid, you love video games. And Twinkies." "You look familiar." "YOU'RE REALLY STARTING TO HURT MY FEELINGS" "YOU'RE WHAT? S-S-S-S-SORRY" "You want to come back to my house?" "I love driving round Waldorf thumping some hip hop!" "We met in High School & thye seemed like nice guys, Joel liked my sister & they went out on a couple of dates together. But he wasn't good enough for her, & she knew that too, so she dumped him! That's how I 1st met them." "They were a little more passive than they are now. They weren't wild kids." "I'm cheerful now because I've had time to wake up. If you'd seen me earlier I'd have been grumpier." "I'm in an industry where tattoos won't stop me from working. Mine are my own designs."
