More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
People are so damned afraid that one day they might wake up and discover that they've grown old.
Billie Joe Armstrong
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
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
You don't mow another man's lawn!

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
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 just open my mouth and out it comes.
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
I thought everybody was in on the joke. But I was the joke.
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
We never fit in completely to [the punk] scene because we were writing love songs that were heartfelt and endearing. Some of the punks didn't know what to make of us, but I finally realized that was what made us punk. We sang what we meant, from the heart, and didn't worry about what anyone was going to think.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Always move forward, going straight will get you nowhere.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.
