More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
When I was done with the movie [Ordinary World], I felt really compelled to start working on another album. Little did I know, they were going to come out back to back.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.
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.

Controversy What controversy This is reality. What I see is that no matter if you're a conservative or a liberal or whatever side you stand on, this is the reality of the situation - that people's families and their young kids are being affected.
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.

Moshing and broken glass just don't go together.
Billie Joe Armstrong
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. It's like I always say, you just follow the music. Not only was American Idiot a special moment for us, but it also led to Ordinary World, too.
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
What I see in a lot of music movies, or rock 'n' roll movies, that feature a band is that they're lip-synching.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I know I'm always going to be a musician, for the rest of my life. That's for sure. It's about how you balance between being a musician and being a parent, and making it intertwined.
Billie Joe Armstrong
They have bad taste. I am not a good-looking guy.
