"You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever."

"The world's most effeminate heterosexual, Daniel Johns" -Art Alexakis

"I was just asking people to take their clothes off." Did they? "No."

"Australia's a 4th world country."

"Remember the time we were touring in Perth and you came into our room 
with no clothes on and said 'Come and take me, boys' ?" To Art

"I've been working out."

"Americans have no sense of humor... except for Everclear."

"I'd just like to dare the 16 year-olds from Iowa to try and beat me up."

"Just remember Crocodile Dundee."

"Be prepared to laugh cuz we're funny."

"Like you in Melbourne... what happened in Melbourne?"

"If negative meant positive we'd be heroes."

"I stopped surfing, I wasn't good enough. I wasn't impressing any girls."

"We're bored give us something funny to do."

"You haven't seen the people we live with. That's what most of the songs 
are about."

"A knob is the tip of a penis."

"There's a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea"

"The rock melon is mine!"

"We're going to be the rave revival band.We're going to bring back the rave"

"I thought about cutting it [his hair],but I don't want to give the 
critics the satisfaction."

"I'll probably wait [to move out of his parent's house] until I'm 19. I 
want to enjoy one more year of getting my washing done for me."

"Ben's got a fixation with females me and Chris are trying to hold him 
back but he's an ANIMAL!!!!"

"Rugrats kicks ass"

What would Daniel do if the world were to end in 10 minutes? "I would 
stay in bed and get an extra 10 minutes sleep"

How long has the chair been together? "It's probably been like about 6 
years but we deduct time for sleeping."

"Is there any beaches like anywhere in this country?"

"It is a magi-Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"Ben's a stud."

"The people that come to our gigs usually go pretty nuts. People just 
come there, they jump around, they hurt themselves, and they go home."

"We never said we didn't suck...we know we suck..."

"I'll always remember 1995 as the year i found out Star Trek wasn't real"

Daniel's last meal: "My own vegetable soup. Or pasta. I make a mean 
veggie soup. It's the best. I just chuck everything in - every veggie, 
every spice. It's beautiful. I've been a veggie for about a year. I was 
kind of going off meat anyway, but a year ago I decided I wasn't eating 
it any more. I saw too many bad things on telly. As long as there's 
fruit on the tour rider, I'm happy. I can eat fruit all day."

"I always drop something or break something. Yesterday I broke a cup. 
I'm really good around the house."

"Yes, I have got a girl's haircut. I'm in touch with my feminine side. 
We have this ongoing competition about who can get the gayest haircut. 
My friend Jason has just kicked my ass by getting a layered feather-cut 
like in that movie 'Pretty In Pink'."

"Room service... baby, I need a meal." 

"I would have grounded you for ages for listening to techno." 

"All right, um, I've got something to say and it's very important, so 
listen up. No, it's not important, but if you want, you can listen. 
Imagine, right, you're like laying in the sand, just laying there, just 
gettin' sandy, and you develop this really bad, like, fungusy rash. And 
you started scratching it and it went like yellow, green and whatever 
other colours fungusy rashes get. And you went to the doctor and they 
said there was nothing wrong. But it got worse and started coming off on 
the itchy carpet, and you realized you were allergic to sand and you got 
it all in your hair and you started going bald and um, developed funny 
penis-shaped objects on your chest. I just thought that'd be funny."

"Put your hand up if you're a jock. Yeah, jocks, we salute you. All 
right, put your hand up if you're a grunge cadet. All right, grunge 
cadets win so far. Put your hand up if you're a fuckwit. Ah, we have 
many a fuckwits in the house. I didn't say it, you did! Um, put your 
hand up if you're homosexual. Yeah! Gay pride! I'm not -- I'm bi, 'cause 
that's the cool thing to be... 'Cause bisexual is cool. And if you'll 
try anything, you're trisexual. Oh, sorry."

"Shut up (directed at girls who were screaming his name). Ben's got a 
little thing where he likes to play little jazz bits to show you how 
multi-talented he is. He really is. He's quite multi-talented. A 
multitude of talent. Does anyone here play the harmonica? No one does, 
but Ben does, 'cause Ben can do anything. What are ya, Ben, what are ya? 
What can ya do? Anything! Ready? Ssshhh, we want ultimate silence. Don't 
scream, shut up, SHUT UP! Ah, don't worry about it, we won't do it. It's 
a little game we like to play but if you don't wanna play, you don't 
have to. Yeah, this song's about child abuse." Nobody Came

"Jezus, you are talking stupid. You look like a frog."

The last time Daniel cried: "When I was about 14 years old. I dropped a 
bandsaw on my foot. It went straight through it."

"During the holidays I sleep till noon. I'm very much the indoors-y type 
guy. Ben and Chris like to surf, but I don't really go to the beach any 
more. I don't even have a tan, which is not very Australian, but the 
other day I was walking my dog and my arms got a bit red and I thought 
'Yeah - a bit of color!'. And I don't eat seafood - I just don't live up 
to the Australian stereotype at all. I failed!"

"Can someone tell me why they put lemons in coke?"

"I find it hard to make friends with people, because I don't trust many 
people. I used to, but I don't anymore. It's not like I hate everyone. It's just 
hard to find people I trust. That's why I love Ben."

"We go home and, all of a sudden we've got 4 different colors of hair, 
and the beach has gone purple."

"All we did in music class was tap wood sticks together."

"I think we just broke up."

"We're not going to play anymore....we're all just going to have sex."

"People basicially leave us alone, but some call us long-hair louts."

"I don't think we're going to kill ourselves, I think we're just going 
to stop."

"We don't have any fans."

"When it [Frogstomp] went to number one, we were kind of spewing!"

"We like angry, intense, music, but we try not to act like Mr. Depression all the time."

"I don't commit any major crimes. I am a good boy."

"I didn't get any fucking money. I never have, and I never will because 
me mum hates me."

"I really want to see snow!"

"We kinda make a little fire in the middle of the room, we burn stuff in 
a bin and we dance around naked."

"Whatever!! That's what you say when you are in L.A.-- WHATEVERRR!"

"Shut the fuck up! Could all the fucking teenies step to the back and 
let the real fans come up front?"

"Rock on! Fucking jump and just do everything except break people."

"Do whatever you want. Jump off of cars if you want."

"If I were a fisherman, I would catch fish. If I were an octagon I'd 
have many sides. And if I were a prostute, I would fuck and fuck and fuck and fuck!"

"I need to ask you something, brothers. Brothers and sisters, we are 
gathered here today to rock and roll one more time in the motherfucking 
hood y'all. Are you motherfuckers ready to rock? Can I get a hallelujah?"

"You want me to spit on you? You're fucking stupid!! I've got herpes and 
all other different diseases."

"If you're going to rape me, at least go for the penis."

"Ben's obsessed with breasts. When he can't get a girl he plays with his 
own, or mine if he's really bored."

"Ben likes boys."

"Ben wants to know who's wild!"

"The next person to say something cool gets to have sex with Ben!"

"Ben stole my underwear again!"

"Ben's always got his trousers round his ankles. There's something 
pornographic about him."

"We're (him and Ben) getting a divorce."

"Yeah, it's an engagement ring! Tim proposed to me!" (eyebrow ring)

"I'm not afraid to show my feminine side. I'm proud of it. In fact, me 
and Ben have an announcement to make..."

"I like the way you talk to me...ooooooooh, I like the way you caress my belly."

"Hi, I love Sweep."

"Keep pulling your dick cause you obviously enjoy it."

"Chris is one bad motherfucker when he's mad."

"I like to piss on ducks when I'm bored."

"I just can't be bothered washing it, because your hair will smell like 
flowers and that stinks."

"I hope I don't go to jail, I hope I don't get raped!"

"When in doubt, lie."

"I'm not sure, so don't quote me on that."

"If I get a lucky charm and take it everywhere then I'll lose it because 
I always lose stuff."

"Obscenity is absurd. Obscenity is absurd--remember that. Cause in some 
places you can get arrested for swearing. Dependent on how much you need 
to have freedom of speech."

"Yeah, we're very rock 'n roll."

"There's this guy in the hospital and he's just finished an operation 
and the doctor walks in and says, "I've got some good news and some bad 
news." He goes,"Okay, tell me the bad news." He goes, "We chopped the 
wrong leg off." And he's like, "NO! What's the good news?" and he goes, 
"Your bad leg is getting better."

"I'm not going to swear because my mum told me not to say fuck."

"I don't think I want to do another interview with Ben. I just don't 
like it. I feel intimidated. Cuz you're just too big."

"The next song's about suicide and um, and if you're still thinking 
about it, don't do it, because it's fucked." Suicidal Dream

"This song's off a movie soundtrack. It's about animal liberation and 
being anti-insect fucking. So if you're a sick fuck, and you fuck insects, 
this song's a fuck-you to you. And if you don't, you have nothing to worry about. 
Unless you fuck animals. All right." Spawn

"Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about." to Ben

"I feel proud to be Australian every day. I love Australia. It's my 
favorite country."

"Ben Gillies - ha ha ha. Actually, I have slept in the same bed as him, 
but I haven't had any sexual intercourse with him. I'm not very 
interested. He's not my type. Just sleeping in the same bed as him is 
bad enough. He snores very loud. He's an animal." The last person on 
earth he would sleep with

"Chris is not fantastically good with equipment. He hasn't quite got the 
hang of headphones." 

"I'll have a coke, if they have coke in New Zealand."

"I've got AIDS, I'm dead, I'm gay, I've got a heroin addiction. I think 
that's about it." (Rumors he's heard about himself)

"Hey, you guys back at the snack bar-- get your asses back here and mosh!" 

"Stop throwing shit. If you're gonna throw stuff, throw it at Ben, just 
don't throw it at Chris. He's a motherfucker and he'll kick your ass." 

"I don't know if sitting home every day is normal, but that's what I do." 

"Nick's done some seriously weird shit and if you saw him, he's like a 
praying mantis with glasses. He's like a mad scientist."

"Its great watching people running after a truck to get their schoolbag. 
That's really funny."

"I'm not going to swear cuz my mum told me not to say fuck, my mum said to 
me, she said "don't swear because no one is impressed by the word fuck,
this is what I say, I say FUCK YOU MUM! Just kiddin' mum, it was just a 
joke, we're still friends." LOL, now how many people would say that with t
their mums at the side of the stage.. he's so funny

"In some ways, it kind of sucks, because sometimes we want to go out and 
do stuff our friends are doing but we can't, because if the media finds 
out about it it will be like exaggerated 50 times, like, if we go out 
and throw an egg at a house and get caught, all of a sudden it will be 
made into this big thing about us attacking people on the street. That 
pisses me off."

"Some teachers don't really like us because we're in a rock band. Our 
music teacher especially really hates us. She thinks that classical 
music is the only music in the world, and she's always calling me and 
Ben to stay after class. One time she was yelling at us that we don't 
take her seriously, and we were just laughing. She started crying. I 
felt so bad, but we couldn't help it." 

"I like to piss on ducks when I'm bored"

"I sucked, I sucked Israel's dick, Israel's dick I sucked"

We said, "We'll make it look like we sold some records. So we went out and bought all of them!"

"Fuck they've got my bag" (some girls grabbed Daniel's bag and that is all someone heard him mutter.

"Always wear colors, black sets the colors off so always wear colors"

"How funky is your chicken, how loose is your goose."

"Airports are so boring. Maybe we should open our 
own airport with lots of cool stuff to do, like movie 
theaters and arcade stuff. We could call it... the 'chair port!"
