More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
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
A lot of people, when they talk to me, I can't wait for them to shut up. Like, shut up. you're a moron. I have nothing to say, you know?

The record [American Idiot ] felt special to us, when we recorded it, with all of the artwork and the concept behind it and it being a rock opera, but we didn't really know where it was going to go.

Billie Joe Armstrong
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
Nobody leaves this band unless it's in a coffin

To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit
Billie Joe Armstrong
I was on drugs when I wrote some of my songs. It was a rough time for me, but I'm lucky enough to be one of the people who learned from that experience and moved on, where other people just got addicted and more addicted and more addicted until it killed them.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.
