More quotes by 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
Just about 99% of the population masturbates while the other 1% lie about it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.

I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't'. They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing.

Billie Joe Armstrong
My job description is that I'm a rock star. And I'm good at it.
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.

No matter what, if you're a parent, you have to make sacrifices.
Billie Joe Armstrong
If you have children, you don't want to have drugs and drinks in the house. It's just not good.
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
I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class. The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I sort of enjoy the fact that I'm misunderstood most of the time. That's fine.
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 want to go home and just go for a long walk. And where I want to go, I have no idea
Billie Joe Armstrong
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
