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
If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Just because you're in the missionary position don't make you no missionary.
Billie Joe Armstrong
To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit
Billie Joe Armstrong
I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't'. They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk is dead to anyone who didn't get it in the first place
Billie Joe Armstrong
I think it's your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.
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
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
I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.
Billie Joe Armstrong
One thing I can't do is do anything half-assed. I want to make sure everything is right, that the song is fully realized.
Billie Joe Armstrong
There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
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
There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
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
We're gonna get high, high, high, when we're low. The fires burn from better days. She scream why, oh why? I said I don't know!
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
Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class. The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.
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
With my family, my sons both love music and play music, and they're really good at it.
