I hope my fans will grow with me. I want to be like Michael Jackson: 5-year-olds love his music, and 75-year-olds love his music. – Drake Bell
I love ‘Airplane,’ the ‘Naked Gun’ films; everything the Zucker brothers have done is just awesome. – Drake Bell

I’m totally the ‘decorate early, start listening to Christmas songs super early’ guy. I’ve just always been that way. – Drake Bell
There’s just a lot of really young, entitled people. I don’t think a lot of these young people have to work very hard. They’re found on YouTube and, boom, thrown into the studio, so they think they can get anything they want. – Drake Bell
If I catch one of my fans saying something improper, a gay slur or any derogatory term, I instantly tweet directly at them and say, ‘This isn’t how we do it.’ – Drake Bell
I was scrolling through my Twitter feed one day, and somebody had tweeted me a picture of Justin Bieber that had been Photoshopped with makeup or something. And I thought it was funny and so I hit retweet – I just retweeted a tweet – and all of a sudden, the remarks were coming in. – Drake Bell
I was raised on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly and discovered the Stray Cats when I was 11 or 12 years old. – Drake Bell

I love Christmas. I’m totally the ‘decorate early, start listening to Christmas songs super-early’ guy. – Drake Bell
The best place for me is in my car, listening to my stereo. I am ‘Mr. Karaoke Guy’ in the car, completely. I just go with it and don’t care what anyone else thinks – I’m singing, man! – Drake Bell
The fans are especially amazing in Mexico. You look out your window, and there are fans that stay out there all night long. – Drake Bell
