More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk is dead to anyone who didn't get it in the first place
Billie Joe Armstrong
This never gets old, and when it does, I'll go do a movie. I like the fact that I can get into other projects because everything feels fresh when I come back to music.
Billie Joe Armstrong
In one of the scenes [in the Ordinary World], you can see a little cameo of my son, who's in the party. You've just gotta bring it all back home.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I love my friends and family, but playing, that's my DNA.
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
If me and Mike Dirnt are in the same room, it's not quite right if he's not on stage with me.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
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
You can't go voicing something if it's just not right.
Billie Joe Armstrong
No matter what, if you're a parent, you have to make sacrifices.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I sound like an Englishman impersonating an American impersonating an Englishman.
Billie Joe Armstrong
The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.
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
Slipknot sounds like Tre choking on a hairball.
Billie Joe Armstrong
My job description is that I'm a rock star. And I'm good at it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I don't feel any shame I won't apologize if there ain't nowhere you can go running away from pain when you've been victimized tales from another broken home.
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
People are so damned afraid that one day they might wake up and discover that they've grown old.
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
I think it's your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.
Billie Joe Armstrong
