More quotes by 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
I'm not going to conform to some consumer need.
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
The fact that I was taking naps in churches, in between takes of the [Ordinary World], and there was that guerilla style of filmmaking, I felt more at home with that.

Billie Joe Armstrong
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong
I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.
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
In every song I write, whether it's a love song or a political song or a song about family, the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way.
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
People think we really look good. I think that's the biggest misconception people have.
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
Nobody leaves this band unless it's in a coffin
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
You don't get nothing and like it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
