More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
When we were making the record, I just decided, at the last second. I thought, This song [Ordinary World] makes a lot of sense, being on the album [Revolution Radio].
Billie Joe Armstrong
Nobody leaves this band unless it's in a coffin
Billie Joe Armstrong
Well, you know, I look at myself in the morning and yes, yeah I-I am a God.
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
There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm not going to conform to some consumer need.
Billie Joe Armstrong
They have bad taste. I am not a good-looking guy.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm a dirt bag rock and roller. I want to represent that before anything else
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
No one's really happy anyway, it's not human.
Billie Joe Armstrong
The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.
Billie Joe Armstrong
A guy walks up to me and asks, What's Punk?. So I kick over a garbage can and say. That's punk!. So he kicks over the garbage can and says, That's Punk?, and I say, No that's trendy!
Billie Joe Armstrong
Always move forward, going straight will get you nowhere.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk is dead to anyone who didn't get it in the first place
Billie Joe Armstrong
Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.
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 loved the independent spirit of the whole experience, instead of doing a big Hollywood picture, or something like that where I would have felt more out of place.
Billie Joe Armstrong
You don't mow another man's lawn!
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 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
