I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do, like explore other styles of music.

More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
A guy walks up to me and asks, What's Punk?. So I kick over a garbage can and say. That's punk!. So he kicks over the garbage can and says, That's Punk?, and I say, No that's trendy!
Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm a dirt bag rock and roller. I want to represent that before anything else
Billie Joe Armstrong
A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean.
Billie Joe Armstrong
It's not only exciting to watch, but you can also speak a different language with each other. It's a music language that's unique, compared to what other parents do, especially in their professional lives. Not everybody can talk about being an accountant.
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
Just because you sing songs about a certain feeling doesn't mean you have to go feeling that way forever. You can sing about that for the rest of your life, but that doesn't mean things aren't going to change in your own life.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I sort of enjoy the fact that I'm misunderstood most of the time. That's fine.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Life isn't pretty but it sure is beautiful.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk rock isn't supposed to be for everyone. There is that sort of private club mentality, which is necessary. It keeps things from getting watered down and boring.
Billie Joe Armstrong
You don't get nothing and like it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I have no idea where my career is going. I just make the best music that I possibly can.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Songs are like a form of chaos that you can control. It's a form of intelligence that maybe you only understand and you hope that someone else can understand. And you can be anyone you want: you can be as grandiose as you want or you can be as down in the gutter as you want. It's just sort of whatever emotional freeway you're on at the time.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.
Billie Joe Armstrong
What I see in a lot of music movies, or rock 'n' roll movies, that feature a band is that they're lip-synching.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Woodstock was about the closest thing to anarchy I've ever seen in my whole life, and I didn't like it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
Billie Joe Armstrong
The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.
Billie Joe Armstrong
No one's really happy anyway, it's not human.
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.
