Before we started touring I think it did come up once, like, “No one can date Hayley.” But it’s not something we really talk about. We’re just a group of friends who love each other. The evidence that dating within a band usually doesn’t work out is all around us. A lot of bands have had it happen — everyone from Rilo Kiley to No Doubt and Fleetwood Mac. It doesn’t work, so that’s not something that I’m trying to do.

We all knew it was going to happen. Before we ever started touring we talked about how people were going to see us and think, "Oh, Avril Lavigne part two," especially because I don’t look really girlie, and I’m a little bit of a tomboy. We knew what people would see at first glance, and we decided not to worry about it. The guys understand that anytime there’s a front person, they’re the one who is going to get the attention. The fact that I have boobs means I’m even more in the spotlight!

No way. I know that you should never say never, but ever since I was little I’ve always felt that I wanted to be a part of a band and make music with my friends. I love making music with the guys. I love being in videos and pictures and doing interviews together with them. I don’t think I’d want it all by myself.
