More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong

I just open my mouth and out it comes.
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
My wife is the CEO of the family. I'm the fun guy, just trying to make it up as I go along.
Billie Joe Armstrong
The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.

I thought everybody was in on the joke. But I was the joke.
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
A man once asked me, what's punk? I kicked over a trash can and said that's punk. He kicked over a trash can and then asked me again, Is that punk? I replied no. That's just trendy.
