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.

More quotes by 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!

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.

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
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
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
I threw a big-ass party. It turned out a bit different from Perry's [in That's Ordinary World], but it was pretty nuts. It wasn't me that threw it though, my wife threw me a surprise party. So [unlike Selma Blair's character] she didn't forget.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Life isn't pretty but it sure is beautiful.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I don't care what you do, I just don't want to be a mud hippie like you. [From 1994 woodstock]

Just about 99% of the population masturbates while the other 1% lie about it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
