> Matte: SAY A CREDIT CARD COMPANY COMES TO YOU AND SAYS, YOU KNOW, "DO YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR FACE ON A CREDIT CARD?" LIKE HOW DO YOU--
> NO. NO THANKS.
> Matte: I MEAN PEOPLE GET THEM AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE AND YOU HAVE ALL THESE BIG MARKETING SCHEMES GOING ON, AND YOUR FACE IS OBVIOUSLY USED ALL OVER THE WORLD OR IS ALL OVER THE WORLD IN POP CULTURE AND MEDIA, AND YOU'RE VERY STRINGENT ON WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO. SO I JUST WONDERED HOW YOU FELT ABOUT THAT?
> I DON'T KNOW-- I HAVEN'T DONE ANY COMMERCIALS OR ADVERTISING FOR ANY PRODUCTS. I'VE DEFINITELY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO AND TURNED THEM ALL DOWN. YOU KNOW, PREFER NOT TO. I PREFER TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT.
> Matte: I DID SEE YOU ON THE COVER, HOWEVER, OF "TEEN VOGUE." HOW WAS THAT?
> WITH USHER?
> Matte: YEAH.
> USHER AND I ARE ON THE COVER OF "TEEN VOGUE" TOGETHER. THAT WAS REALLY FUN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE USHER WAS ACTUALLY REALLY, REALLY SWEET. LIKE HE WAS A TOTAL GENTLEMAN, LIKE OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME, AND JUST ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, REALLY CLASSY, I SHOULD SAY. IT WAS FUN. YEAH, THEY TRIED TO GET ME IN ALL THESE DESIGNER CLOTHES, AND THEY HAD THIS DRESS THEY WANTED ME TO WEAR, AND I WAS LIKE, "NO, I'M NOT WEARING THAT." SO WE CUT IT, AND I JUST USED IT AS A SHIRT. IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY.
> Matte: SO THAT'S WHY--
> THEY LIKE YOU TO DRESS UP SO...
> Matte: IN TERMS OF LIKE THOSE HOME HARDWARE SHIRTS, I MEAN, YOU WEAR ONE ON A TV SHOW AND NEXT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SELLING OUT, AND PEOPLE IN THE STATES DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HOME HARDWARE IS.
> THAT WAS MY SOCCER SHIRT FROM WHEN I WAS LIKE FIVE.
> Matte: ARE YOU SERIOUS?
> YEAH. AND I WENT HOME ONE TIME AND I SAW IT. I'M LIKE, "OH, SWEET! IT LOOKS LIKE A VINTAGE T-SHIRT." YOU KNOW, WE GO OUT AND BUY THOSE OLD SOCCER SHIRTS AND STUFF, AND I HAD MY OWN. SO I WAS LIKE, "OOH! I'M GOING TO WEAR THIS." THEN I WORE IT AND THEY WERE LIKE, "WHOO!" EVERYONE KIND OF...
> Matte: HOW IS THAT? HAVING SUCH A BIG INFLUENCE? LIKE I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY AFTER BEING, YOU KNOW, ON THE ROAD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND LIKE HOW IS IT DEALING WITH IT? DO YOU EVER GET USED TO IT?
> YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DOESN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING TO ME. I JUST DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO, GO WHERE I HAVE TO GO, AND IT'S FUN. AND I LOVE SINGING, AND SO IT'S EASY.
> Matte: A LOT OF ARTISTS DON'T LIKE BEING CALLED POP.
> THAT'S RIGHT.
> Matte: WELL, FRANZ FERDINAND HAD SAID HE DOESN'T MIND BEING CALLED POP BECAUSE IT'S MUSIC YOU CAN ENJOY WITHOUT ENGAGING THE BRAIN. SO I WAS JUST WONDERING...
> THERE'S POP MUSIC IN THAT JUST MEANS, YOU KNOW, POPULAR MUSIC, AND THEN THERE'S LIKE JOJO AND PEOPLE WITH DANCERS AND... (Laughter)
> Matte: (Laughing)
> THAT KIND OF STUFF.
> Matte: YEAH, I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
> I REALLY LIKE HER SONG, BY THE WAY.
> Matte: YOU DO? COME ON!
> YEAH. \M Get up, stand up \m \e
> Matte: THE SOUND EFFECTS ARE THE BEST IN THE BACK. LEAVE, NOW. THE WHOLE CREW IN THE BACK! THEY'RE HILARIOUS.
> IT'S FUN.
> Matte: DO YOU REALLY LIKE IT, THOUGH?
> I THINK IT'S A GOOD SONG.
> Matte: I ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE--
> YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES ON, I'M LIKE SINGING ALONG AND STUFF, YOU KNOW. ISN'T SHE 13?
> Matte: SHE'S YOUNG. SHE'S VERY YOUNG.
> WOW!
> Matte: WHICH IS SURPRISING WHEN YOU LOOK AT HER, HOW SHE CONDUCTS HERSELF.
> HER LOOKS-- IT'S PROBABLY HER HAIR-- KIND OF REMINDS ME OF LINDSAY LOHAN. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW THE-- WHAT WAS THAT AWARD SHOW?
> Matte: WITH THE SURFBOARDS?
> THE MTV AWARDS OR SOMETHING? YEAH! THE TEEN CHOICE AWARDS. I JUST SAW HER. YOU GUYS WERE PLAYING THAT ON Much RIGHT NOW. I SAW IT ON THAT. THAT WAS LINDSAY LOHAN. I WAS LIKE, "SHE'S ACTUALLY SINGING NOW?"
> Matte: HEY, HEATHER. HOW ARE YOU?
> GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
> Matte: NOT BAD.
> HI, AVRIL.
> HEY!
> I WAS JUST WONDERING IF EVAN'S DEPARTURE FROM THE BAND HAS AFFECTED YOU IN ANY WAY?
> EVAN AND I ARE GOOD FRIENDS. WE'VE BEEN GOOD FRIENDS SINCE HE JOINED THE BAND, AND IT'S SAD FOR ME TO SEE HIM GO, AND AT THE SAME TIME, I WISH HIM LUCK, YOU KNOW. I THINK EVAN IS TALENTED. I THINK HE'S A GREAT GUY, AND HE DESERVES THE BEST. SO NO, IT HASN'T HAD AN EFFECT ON THE BAND BECAUSE WE HAVE DEVON NOW. RHYMES WITH EVAN, AND HE IS A GOOD FRIEND OF OURS, SO WE ALL KNEW HIM AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL COMFORTABLE. AND I'M STILL GOOD FRIENDS WITH EVAN, YOU KNOW.
> THANK YOU.
> THANKS.
> Matte: HOW DO YOU DEAL-- HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT, THINGS LIKE LINEUP CHANGES? I MEAN--
> IT'S ALL GOOD. YOU KNOW, IT HAPPENS.
> Matte: IF YOU'VE GOT TO GO, YOU'VE GOT TO GO?
> THE ONLY ORIGINAL BAND MEMBER NOW IS MATT, THE DRUMMER. ME AND MATT.
> Matte: WHICH IS NICE. YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY HAVE A REALLY GOOD FRIENDSHIP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING DOWN, AVRIL.
> THANK YOU. IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE, OF COURSE.
> Matte: RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO CHECK OUT YOUR NEXT VIDEO, "NOBODY'S HOME."
> "NOBODY'S HOME." HERE IT IS. HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT. IT'S KIND OF DIFFERENT. (Cheering and applause) ("MuchOnDemand" theme) (Cheering and applause). (Playing video)
