Avril Lavigne

Not only is it a part of my life, I need to bring awareness to the severity of Lyme disease.

The worst drugs are as bad as anybody’s told you. It’s just a dumb trip, which I can’t condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one’s own personal, social, emotional reasons. It’s something to be avoided if one can help it.

It’s not just people who can’t find a job, or can’t fit in in society that struggle with depression sometimes.

You may feel depressed, but it can’t be so depressing that you can’t move. No, I would say that people create in moments when they are elated about expressing their depression!

If you said you had homosexual tendencies they sent you to a psychiatrist.

We can’t let people down when they can’t get any medical care, when they’re sick and don’t have money to go to a doctor. You help them.

At the root of this dilemma is the way we view mental health in this country. Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there should be no distraction.

I want to change the stigma of crazy, of mental health – period.

The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.

There’s not shame in dealing with these things. There’s no shame in having to fight everyday.

I keep healthy and I’m always very active and always have been so. I don’t really see any signs of aging yet. Music keeps you young.

I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.

And every person can benefit from talking to somebody. I’m the most anti-medication person, but some people need medicine, and there was a time where I needed some too.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

A lot of people undermine their own anxiety because they’re like…nothing’s necessarily going wrong. It just happens and it’s just inside of you and that’s not something you should be ashamed of. It’s justified because it’s happening.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
