More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm not going to conform to some consumer need.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Controversy What controversy This is reality. What I see is that no matter if you're a conservative or a liberal or whatever side you stand on, this is the reality of the situation - that people's families and their young kids are being affected.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.
Billie Joe Armstrong
You can't change the wind but you can set your sails.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I sound like an Englishman impersonating an American impersonating an Englishman.

There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
When we were making the record, I just decided, at the last second. I thought, This song [Ordinary World] makes a lot of sense, being on the album [Revolution Radio].
Billie Joe Armstrong
We never fit in completely to [the punk] scene because we were writing love songs that were heartfelt and endearing. Some of the punks didn't know what to make of us, but I finally realized that was what made us punk. We sang what we meant, from the heart, and didn't worry about what anyone was going to think.
Billie Joe Armstrong
My job description is that I'm a rock star. And I'm good at it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Just because you're in the missionary position don't make you no missionary.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.
Billie Joe Armstrong
There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.
Billie Joe Armstrong
It's not necessarily getting older or the change that comes with it, I think it's more about the memories that you have. Where you can look at your life in these eras.
Billie Joe Armstrong
The thing is, my education was music. I knew I'd be playing music no matter what. That's all I thought about, I was obsessed with it. I'm still obsessed with it. It gets the best of me sometimes.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I loved the independent spirit of the whole experience, instead of doing a big Hollywood picture, or something like that where I would have felt more out of place.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I threw a big-ass party. It turned out a bit different from Perry's [in That's Ordinary World], but it was pretty nuts. It wasn't me that threw it though, my wife threw me a surprise party. So [unlike Selma Blair's character] she didn't forget.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I definitely related a lot to Perry [from That's Ordinary World movie]. I liked how he put family first. I identified with the exhaustion and klutziness that comes with being a parent, and how he's just a rock-and-roller at heart. For me, it was fun to kind of imagine whether or not this could've been the path I went on, or not.
Billie Joe Armstrong
No one's really happy anyway, it's not human.
