When I signed that major-labe...

When I signed that major-label contract when I was 20 years old. I did it because I wanted to play music for the rest of my life. That's every 20-year-old's dream - to do whatever the hell you want.

In every song I write, whether it's a love song or a political song or a song about family, the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way.

The first time that you escape from home or the small town that you live in - there's a reason a small town is called a small town: It's because not many people want to live there.

Set lists are tough because y...

Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.

There are always young bands ...

There are always young bands playing in their garages. 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.

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

What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it's almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all; they're taking it to the hilt.

Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.

What annoys the hell out of m...

What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it.

Billie Joe Armstrong 10.08.2025 20:52:26 218 quotes

I don't want to limit myself ...

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.

Billie Joe Armstrong 10.08.2025 20:52:26 218 quotes

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.

If journalists ask you again and again about the same bands, you'll end up saying you hate them just because you're so fed up with being asked all those stupid questions.

Billie Joe Armstrong 10.08.2025 20:52:26 218 quotes

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.

We're not a political band. We don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. We just want to tell them to think.

Billie Joe Armstrong 10.08.2025 20:52:26 218 quotes

If you have children, you don't want to have drugs and drinks in the house. It's just not good.
