More quotes by 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

Billie Joe Armstrong
There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
Billie Joe Armstrong
The first time I ever saw him play, Tre Cool was wearing a tutu and an old-womans swimming cap.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I think everybody should get married. Boys and girls. Girls and boys. Boys and boys! Girls and girls! Shouldn't we all be entitled to a family-Civil rights baby it's civil rights. It doesn't get any better here in Berkeley I'll tell you that.
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
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
