More quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Just seeing the things on TV and the things in front of you, the amount of information coming in, and the lack of information not coming in, how could you not help but write songs about it.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I sound like an Englishman impersonating an American impersonating an Englishman.
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
Never run in the rain with your socks on.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I was on drugs when I wrote some of my songs. It was a rough time for me, but I'm lucky enough to be one of the people who learned from that experience and moved on, where other people just got addicted and more addicted and more addicted until it killed them.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I have no idea where my career is going. I just make the best music that I possibly can.

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
If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class. The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.
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
Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.
Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm a dirt bag rock and roller. I want to represent that before anything else
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
The thing is, my education was music. I knew I'd be playing music no matter what. That's all I thought about, I was obsessed with it. I'm still obsessed with it. It gets the best of me sometimes.
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
No one's really happy anyway, it's not human.
Billie Joe Armstrong
