Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Well, you know, I look at myself in the morning and yes, yeah I-I am a God.
Billie Joe Armstrong
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

Billie Joe Armstrong
The record [American Idiot ] felt special to us, when we recorded it, with all of the artwork and the concept behind it and it being a rock opera, but we didn't really know where it was going to go. It's like I always say, you just follow the music. Not only was American Idiot a special moment for us, but it also led to Ordinary World, too.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Minority is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life.
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 want to go home and just go for a long walk. And where I want to go, I have no idea
Billie Joe Armstrong
That's where all good music comes from, I think - anything that's likely to have an impact on pop culture comes from a point where there's no expectation of it becoming anything other than personal.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.
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
Moshing and broken glass just don't go together.
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.
