"I got a speeding ticket on the Merritt Parkway too."

"We're just going to be the world's greatest, happiest, nicest, friendliest band, and everybody's gonna understand that."

"You know how we're going to combat this 'faceless band' theory? By making every single person in the United States love us."

"I only listen to our record. I can't get into other artists, I don't like any other bands. The only reason I joined this unit was because of the music, and damn it if I'm gonna listen to anything but my own album."

"We've just believed in our music enough that we hope it embraces everybody. If we like what we're doing enough, and we're proud of what we're doing, we hope that everybody will respond in the same way. That's the key ingredient in this band. Word of mouth is what makes everything start happening." 

"Never lick a phone book."

"Oh yeah, that's me, Mr. Sexy."

"I bought myself a limousine that I can drive around myself, cause it's really cool for my friends to party while I'm driving around. And it makes me look really cool."

"Ahh! I think Silly Pants is a wonderful nickname. I think Fast Britches is a little more disturbing!" 

"Kyle pushed me into a guy in a wheelchair. It was tough, I landed on this guy while still holding my guitar." 

"We don't want to be in a band that never has anything to say." 

"I like to take a good mackerel out of the water, pet him a few times, say 'look into the face of death fish', and then throw him back!" 

"It would be easy to get carried away with all this success. But, because we're a band-a bunch of guys who really care about each other-we're pretty level-headed." 

"Surreal is a word I use very often when I try and explain what the hell is going on with us." 

"When you're on the road for this long, it's important to check each other's heads every once in a while." 

"George Washington, he was the biggest liar ever, no offense to his familly and stuff, but he was a liar." 

"I wanted to build the tallest building in the world. After I was rejected by the circus." 

"I'd be a deer tick on your head." 

"Help a friend with an ugly cat." 

"You know Rob, he's a glue sniffer. (Stephan Jenkins)" 

"Everyone's invited (to Rob's wedding)!" 

"All is well we lost our Grammy to our friend Jakob Dylan. We are really happy for him. He’s a good man. Deserved it, and hell, Spice Girls didn’t get it. I mean, not THIS time anyway."

Kyle

"I'm a loser, but you can lie to me."

"Critics don't like us, because there's nothing for them to latch on to and write about. No one in the band is dying of a heroin addiction...we're just out there playing."

"The oxygen has arrived!"

"Don't just hear it, feel it"

"That reminds me, I need to get a manicure." 

“I just wanna be seen!” 

"Music and lyrics and songs can be a story, they can be a fantasy. They can come from a place that doesn't exist." 

"We'll rock them thoroughly." 

"The way people look at you. I feel like the same person, just a lot more tired and smelly."
 
"You know, it's funny. I've always been made aware of how brilliant the title is every time I'm walking around a mall or something, where like every door has a little 'push' sign on it." 

"My hair usually looks good, I don't know what happened. Got a little fucked up somehow."   

"Critics don't like us because there's nothing for them to write about. No one in the band is dying of a heroin addiction. We're just out there playing."

Paul

"I love dressing up in drag cause it's kinda like my everyday."

"I've never been in jail… I've never done anything man. I'm a loser.I wanna go to jail…I got locked in a closet once. That was about it." 

"Kyle has the best looking ass out of the entire band, and as a band our goal is to each have an ass like Kyle" 

"If I dont massage Robs feet after a show I get fired"

"We're the most pansy band in rock and roll."

"My name is Rob Thomas, and I'm very pretty!"

"This is the first time I've worn a skirt, It's pretty comfortable, but as a drummer I couldn't play in it because I can't seperate my legs." 

"They kicked our ass" (Spice Girls)

"Stay in school, they gots all the good dope."

"Don't take yourself too seriously."

"Don't I make a pretty girl?"

"They can't see me on the radio....I am 6'7"...you can tell by my manly voice!"

"Nothing makes you feel energized like the word SPOON."

"Rob, like, used to work at a zoo and he'd get off everyday at 3am and he'd find himself, you know, a little animal that, you know, he took to his liking and kinda, you know, have his little fun....but it always happened at 3am, that's the weird thing."

"Never grow up."

"I heard on the internet that I'm gay...yeah, that's what it says on the internet....me and Rob both are gay....I think we're gay lovers...right on.....thanks for the press."
wait, are you admitting it?

"First we were gonna get a pig. It was gonna be a big, giant, purple pig that Rob was gonna be walking down the street. But it was raining that day. And then I was watching MTV and I was like, man, I saw way too many pigs, forget the pig." 

" Armadillos can't walk on a bowling alley floor."

"I was waiting tables and a guy walked in, he had a 20 on his shirt and I was like 'Matchbox20'. It just popped in my head, so, I was like 'Oh, that would be a kinda cool name for a clothing company'. That's what I wanted to do, I wanted to start a clothing company. But then at the same time, we were trying to think of the name of the band.. And we were coming up with like the worst names you could possibly think of. So I said 'what about Matchbox20?', and that was like totally panned by everyone. They were all like 'that's so stupid, it's the dumbest name I've ever heard'. A month later, I swear to God, just tells you how life is, a month later we're sitting there and Rob goes 'hey, what about Matchbox20?'. 'Yeah, that's cool', so you know, that's how it happened." 

"We wanna have as many fans as we possibly can. That's why we put out a record." 

"Don't go to your local bookstore and buy that book that says 'How To Write A Hit Song', cuz you know what? It's not gonna work." 

"Rob's a rockstar, he makes us call him Mr. Thomas." 

"Well actually, since I haven't been home in about a year, my grass is about 70 feet tall." 

"It's called jealousy, and it's called.....people are bitter that things go well for one person and not another. So, it's an old time story and it's happened to so many bands and now it's our turn, you know? But it's not a thing that's keeping us up at night, that's for sure." 

"There's no way any of us could beat up a woman. It can't happen." 

"The one line in 'Push' that totally gives it away as to what the song is about is 'I wanna take you for granted'. How much more obvious can you get?" 

"Our egos are HUGE!" 

"Rob kept like lighting himself on fire. That's something.....I mean, Rob's done some crazy things on stage before, but lighting himself on fire was definitely weird.....Yeah, I never thought he'd go off like that." 

"I'm tired of this record." 

"Yeah, we haven't changed, just our surroundings have changed. Like we get to stay in nicer hotels and play in nicer places." 

"He's the singer. Take Rob. He's Mr. Beautiful Guy. That's real cool." 

"Little Miss 'I'll take Rob cuz he's pretty'." 

"I had to do an hour long interview with People Magazine on why I thought Rob was so pretty. Even worse off than that, they didn't use a damn word I said!" 

"You can insult us all you want, that's fine. But if like you're insulting us and seven million people did go buy our record, so are they idiots now?"

Pookie

"I got a speeding ticket on the Merritt Parkway too."

"What's really amazing is the wide, wide, age range, because the little 13 year old girls up in front are just crazy. Then you got the high school kids in the mosh pit going nuts. Then you get the 20-somethings and the 30-somethings behind them. It's like kids and their parents." 

"People who are slow drivers on the left." 

"By the time we finish, it'll be silly the amount of records we sold." 

"I'm the guy who always thinks we can play it better." 

"Where are we going? To the top! The very top!"

"I had the strangest dream where a leprechaun stole my lucky charms."

"There are only two things you need in life...money...and condoms."

"This one goes out to the b*tch who took all my clothes to the Good Will" -Rob talking about "Back 2 Good"

"This song is about f*cking around, f*cking up, and getting pretty f*cking good at it!" -Rob talking about "Damn"

"I'd like to thank my mom for giving birth to me, so I can wear tight pants."

"Right now, we're not wearing a d@mn thing... we're free baby and loving every minute of it!"

"You can spit shine me all you want, but I'm still the same old piece of tin."

"We're not a very good band, but we try! And we're spunky dressers!"

"After I finish this song, you will only say...what a pittiful bastard"

"Canada is like bizarro world. Everything is the same, like this Wendy's cup except there are these inconspicuous little Canadian flags everywhere you look"

"Running away from my girlfriend" when a fan asked Rob how he lost the weight

"The whole concept of 'yourself or someone like you' is that people are supposed to deal with their friends and their family and their relationships in a similar way. There's similarity in everyone's emotions."

"I wouldn't be more surprised if I sprouted wings out my @ss and flew around the room"

"This is my Elvis guitar. It's never let me down, it's never done me wrong..... and I'm talking outta my @ss!"

"We like alcohol, it makes everyone all loose"

"Our whole next album is going to be mad, phat rhymes, kickin' hip hop grooves. It'll be exactly the same record, we're just gonna rap it."

"The album is not depressing. It was meant to be a celebration of getting through, surviving, and being on the upswing of things. For me, these are happy songs."

"Kyle, I would reach my hand down your pocket anytime, because I think you're a sexy man, with a big guitar."

"Don't grab someone's *ss when they're not looking"

"All we could do is play and play and play, and do the best we possibly can, and try to never get caught with a dead hooker in a hotel room."

"It's okay to look like an idiot from day to day, but I don't want to be remembered like one forever!"

"You know, a brooding, angst-ridden, and misunderstood musician. Dark colors seem to fit the profile better."

"Everyone in the band is still just a jerk, just like regular guys. It makes them more fun to be with. And nobody's developed any weird rock star fungus, or anything."

"Look at my penis and fear me!"

"I'm like borderline b*tch."

"I have to pee, but I don't want to go anywhere!"

"We have to sing the song my way, because I'm a potty mouth."

"This is Joey. He kicks *ss... I figured I'd introduce him cause he's part of our family now, and we like that family sh*t... yeah... that family sh*t.".

"Good God, you guys are feisty, but I like that."

"This is about f*cking up so many times you start to get good at it."

"Man, we make enough money, we don't need your nickels! But thanks anyway."
