Billie Joe Armstrong quotes about
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.
Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
I think that's the big difference between this one [Ordinary World] and a lot of the other rock 'n' roll movies. They're playing to tape, but Fred Armisen and I were actually in a rock 'n' roll bad together. I also really related to the character, especially when it came to the parenting part. I'm a pretty klutzy parent.
Some times I need to apologize, sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right, sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hello, sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone.
If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.
What I see in a lot of music movies, or rock 'n' roll movies, that feature a band is that they're lip-synching.
Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.
The bigger the risks, the better off you are. Otherwise you're just boring.
I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.
Never run in the rain with your socks on.
No one's really happy anyway, it's not human.
Every night I play as if my life depends on it.
I think we have the worst name in rock, I really do. It's the worst name in the world
