More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Just because you sing songs about a certain feeling doesn't mean you have to go feeling that way forever. You can sing about that for the rest of your life, but that doesn't mean things aren't going to change in your own life.
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
Slipknot sounds like Tre choking on a hairball.
Billie Joe Armstrong
A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We pride ourselves on trying to put on the best show we can and we're not afraid to say that we happen to be the best live band in the world.
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
Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Moshing and broken glass just don't go together.
Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong
Songs are like a form of chaos that you can control. It's a form of intelligence that maybe you only understand and you hope that someone else can understand. And you can be anyone you want: you can be as grandiose as you want or you can be as down in the gutter as you want. It's just sort of whatever emotional freeway you're on at the time.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.
Billie Joe Armstrong
What I see in a lot of music movies, or rock 'n' roll movies, that feature a band is that they're lip-synching.
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 fact that I was taking naps in churches, in between takes of the [Ordinary World], and there was that guerilla style of filmmaking, I felt more at home with that.
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
We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.
Billie Joe Armstrong
The bigger the risks, the better off you are. Otherwise you're just boring.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I hate celebrities. I really hate them.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Always move forward, going straight will get you nowhere.
Billie Joe Armstrong
