More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
You can't go voicing something if it's just not right.
Billie Joe Armstrong
That's where all good music comes from, I think - anything that's likely to have an impact on pop culture comes from a point where there's no expectation of it becoming anything other than personal.
Billie Joe Armstrong
No matter what, if you're a parent, you have to make sacrifices.
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
Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.
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
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
I sort of enjoy the fact that I'm misunderstood most of the time. That's fine.
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 hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.
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 have no idea where my career is going. I just make the best music that I possibly can.
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 don't feel any shame I won't apologize if there ain't nowhere you can go running away from pain when you've been victimized tales from another broken home.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I thought everybody was in on the joke. But I was the joke.
Billie Joe Armstrong
There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
You don't mow another man's lawn!
Billie Joe Armstrong
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.
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.
