Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong
In every song I write, whether it's a love song or a political song or a song about family, the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
Billie Joe Armstrong
My wife is the CEO of the family. I'm the fun guy, just trying to make it up as I go along.

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
The thing is, my education was music. I knew I'd be playing music no matter what. That's all I thought about, I was obsessed with it. I'm still obsessed with it. It gets the best of me sometimes.
Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong
You can't go voicing something if it's just not right.

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
With my family, my sons both love music and play music, and they're really good at it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
As agent asked if I wanted to be represented, and I said, Yeah, sure, I'll give it a shot! It was never something I had really put that much thought into. But then, Lee Kirk reached out and asked if I was interested, and I read the script of the [Ordinary World] and said, Absolutely!
Billie Joe Armstrong
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
Billie Joe Armstrong
People think we really look good. I think that's the biggest misconception people have.
Billie Joe Armstrong
My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that.
Billie Joe Armstrong
It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk rock isn't supposed to be for everyone. There is that sort of private club mentality, which is necessary. It keeps things from getting watered down and boring.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We do have American Idiot picked up by HBO and I wrote the record and concept to it. [We have] the writer Rolin Jones and [director] Michael Mayer [who also directed the Broadway production], so we'll see what happens.
