Thats what Green Day is-there are no rules.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do, like explore other styles of music.

I don't want to live in an ivory tower, being the songwriter who just turns inward.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
You can't change the wind but you can set your sails.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
It's not necessarily getting older or the change that comes with it, I think it's more about the memories that you have. Where you can look at your life in these eras.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
There were a couple of times, leading up to shooting [Ordinary World], where I was like, "Oh, my god, what did I get myself into? Hopefully, I don't ruin this guy's precious script." And then, after a couple of days of shooting, I started getting in the groove of it and it was really fun. I love being a rookie at stuff. It makes it feel vital. I love doing things I've never done before, and I love making stuff.

Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.

Moshing and broken glass just don't go together.

Slipknot sounds like Tre choking on a hairball.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
We never fit in completely to [the punk] scene because we were writing love songs that were heartfelt and endearing. Some of the punks didn't know what to make of us, but I finally realized that was what made us punk. We sang what we meant, from the heart, and didn't worry about what anyone was going to think.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
I just open my mouth and out it comes.

The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
I have no idea where my career is going. I just make the best music that I possibly can.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
No matter what, if you're a parent, you have to make sacrifices.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.

I'm not f-ing Justin Bieber, you motherf-ers!

We are not afraid to be entertainers.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
I'm not as depressed as I used to be. The Prozac's working!
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
I just wanted to get the hell out of my town. I wanted to leave with reckless abandon. I didn't care where I ended up, as long as I saw as much as humanly possible.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
I want to go home and just go for a long walk. And where I want to go, I have no idea.
