I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't'. They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I sound like an Englishman impersonating an American impersonating an Englishman.

Billie Joe Armstrong
What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it's almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all they're taking it to the hilt.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I don't like LA. The majority just seem to be so artificial. Look at how they worship everything they think is fashionable. Isn't it sick?
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
A guy walks up to me and asks, What's Punk?. So I kick over a garbage can and say. That's punk!. So he kicks over the garbage can and says, That's Punk?, and I say, No that's trendy!
Billie Joe Armstrong
To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit
