Personal quotes from Ashlee Simpson
"Because of my family, I was very driven and I really wanted to be where I am today."
"Image is something that people think too much about. When it comes to style and clothes, it's about feeling confident in what you're wearing."
"I knew that if I wanted to do a sappy ballad album I could, but it wouldn't be me. It would be so awkward."
"I think that if you love something so much you have to do it. I love music so much, there was no choice."
"The first show I did, I was so nervous I tripped during my first song!"
"This business looks glamorous and fun, but it's so much work. There are moments when you are like, 'Oh my God, all this work has paid off and it's so cool.'"
"I would sing behind closed doors growing up. Jessica was so good and it made me shy about my own voice. But, I don't hide my singing - not anymore. I sing punk music actually. I love to run around and scream and rock out and play guitar."
"'Autobiography' is basically a response to people assuming I'm a Jessica clone. It's like, 'If you wanna know me, just ask me!"
I've always been a rocker. Like ever since I was really young. I had a crush on the Green Day guys. That's always been what I was like and been my interest. Then I was in a punk band for a while and we broke up."
"I've always loved rock music. I went to ballet school and had orange hair. I've always been out there."
"I've never looked at myself and thought "Oh yeah, I'm sexy". I've felt sexy and confident, but I don't look at myself that way"
