More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
One thing I can't do is do anything half-assed. I want to make sure everything is right, that the song is fully realized.
Billie Joe Armstrong
It's not only exciting to watch, but you can also speak a different language with each other. It's a music language that's unique, compared to what other parents do, especially in their professional lives. Not everybody can talk about being an accountant.
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
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

Billie Joe Armstrong
Never run in the rain with your socks on.
Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong
Slipknot sounds like Tre choking on a hairball.
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
I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class. The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.
Billie Joe Armstrong
It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.
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
I just wanted to get the hell out of my town. I wanted to leave with reckless abandon. I didn't care where I ended up, as long as I saw as much as humanly possible.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It's fragile. I don't have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing.
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?
Billie Joe Armstrong
It's okay to grow up, it's just slowing down that's the scary part. Running out of time. It's okay to grow up, but it doesn't mean you have to become like your parents.
Billie Joe Armstrong
