More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it's almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all they're taking it to the hilt.
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
Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It's fragile. I don't have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I just plug in and let go.
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.

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

Billie Joe Armstrong
You don't mow another man's lawn!
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
The first time I ever saw him play, Tre Cool was wearing a tutu and an old-womans swimming cap.
Billie Joe Armstrong
As agent asked if I wanted to be represented, and I said, Yeah, sure, I'll give it a shot! It was never something I had really put that much thought into. But then, Lee Kirk reached out and asked if I was interested, and I read the script of the [Ordinary World] and said, Absolutely!
Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We pride ourselves on trying to put on the best show we can and we're not afraid to say that we happen to be the best live band in the world.
Billie Joe Armstrong
It would be great to do a rock opera, but using more low-fi technology. I love shitty-sounding records.
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.
