These quotes have all been collected from Articles and Interviews that I have posted on my site, the original Yahoo! Rooney Group, and the Official Board.

Have one to submit? I'd love to hear from you. Be sure to let me know who said it, and where you found the quote!

"Kirk Hammett of Metallica told us to always listen to our mixes on headphones."

"Calling nice girls that come onto the bus 'whores' is not cool. Furthermore, even if they were 'whores', they are also human beings and have feelings, too."

"To anyone who doesn't use sun block: I've been down that road and I won't go back. I know what the tan is, but I'm done chasing that dream. Juice is almost as important as sun block. I like to drink Hibiscus Cooler at the beach. Capri Sun (juice in a bag) is another good juice."

"I had a really embarrassing moment in front of Kenny G. I wanted to just tell him how I felt and instead I think I said something like 'Mr G, I want to be with you.' He freaked out and said 'Please call me Kenny.'"

Matthew

"I went to high school with Robert, and that's where we formed the first incarnation of Rooney. At the time, we were just looking to have some fun as an after-school activity."

"I think fans are happy to have a good, fun, not-too-heavy band to open the show and get everyone in the mood." (on Lollapalooza)

"I would very much like to see some Rooney fan breasts in honor of my amazing self." (about a show on his birthday)

"I enjoy watching movies very much. I have recently been spending a lot of time watching the O.C. I relax with a good cigar often, and am to begin making some Cabernet Sauvignon later this week."

"Does baby want a napkin?"

Ned

"I guess our sound is kind of sunny and poppy with lots of songs - about girls and other fiction based stories."

"We focus on writing catchy, cohesive songs that people can remember and sing back to you. We're not afraid of the pop because that used to be a good thing and now it's something that rock snobs have given a negative spin."

"I just stepped off my private jet in the great Pacific Northwest. It's beautiful here, I tell you. After spending the day on my yacht, I'm just waiting for my limo and police escorts to take me to my mountain hideaway where I will feast on roasted lamb shanks and wines from my vineyard. I believe Nicky and Paris Hilton will be joining Gideon Yago, Ian Robinson, and myself for an after dinner Cognac as well. (on the life of a privileged rocker)

"I don’t even know what day it is. Thursday? Cool."

"I grabbed a girl’s butt who I thought was my girlfriend at the time but it was actually my friend’s girlfriend. I grabbed her behind in her jeans. I walked up behind her and stuck my hands on her bare butt. And squeezed. And then she turned round and I saw her face. And she turned round - and that was one of my most embarrassing moments."

Robert

"Once upon a time, I was wandering in a magic forest, and I ran into an old wise man who gave me a magic bean. And the bean was, like, a key, right? And that's how I entered the kingdom of great old music that no one listens to anymore, for some reason."

"We're all tone nuts. We are obsessed with frequency. We are complete and total music nerds."

"I was unhappy in school. I didn't feel like I connected with anybody. I wanted my own gang."

"I'd rather spend my time at home ordering Chinese food. Dessert! That's what puts a smile on my face."

"It's too bad you can't really learn from any current bands. Well, there are some you can learn from, but to grow up in the '60s and go to concerts in the '60s would be the best education. Today, who can you turn to? Creed? Am I going to learn some way of being cool from that guy?"

"I don't like pot because people who smoke pot are stupid and slow and have nothing interesting to say. I hate hippies."

"Natalie Portman. She's so cute. Wait, are you going to write that?" (on his new crush)

"I'm a big fan of Val Kilmer - if I met him, I'd be like, 'All right, you are the man.'"

"One hit wonders build from the ground up. We have built from the underground up. You've seen us play, you own our music, it would be a mistake to disown Rooney because you don't agree with the bills we play on here and there."

"This is the time when you get that uncomfortable feeling in your gut, when your carpool driver sounds the horn while you finish you eggs, bacon, and toast. Your backpack is all ready to go and mother has tears in her eyes as she hands the lunch she made in a brown paper bag. 'Buckle up,' she says." (about going back to school)

"I was 16 when I first heard Death On Two Legs and I couldn't believe it had never been a single. I felt like I was hearing some kind of epic smash hit that none of my friends had ever heard of. I played it for [our guitar player] Taylor, and we were just blown away by it. When we were offered a song on the tribute album, we jumped at the opportunity. Queen is the type of band that has great songs well beyond their "Greatest Hits." Their songwriting and precise execution in their recordings are both inspiring and fulfilling."

Taylor

"We get lots of baked goods: brownies and cookies. We even have fans who make us dioramas. It's a little crazy."

"They are all rad dudes and we get along quite well. I get bummed out when people are inconsiderate on the bus or in the dressing room. But everyone has their flaws and I accept those fuckers either way." (on his band mates)

"Get huge overnight, squander all our cash, get addicted to drugs, become estranged from our families, have our second record flop, and break up by the time I'm 21!" (on how he wants the band's future to turn out)

"Rooney rocks so hard, we could only be considered the bastard child of Molly Hatchet and Ozzy Osbourne."

"If naughty language upsets you, then rock 'n' roll just isn't for you. Go into animation, or join a frisbee team."

"When did I compare our band to Kara's Flowers? I don't feel that our bands are similar at all aside from the fact that we all have fairly decent asses."
