Billie Joe Armstrong Rock Quotations

My job description is that I'm a rock star. And I'm good at it.

It would be great to do a rock opera, but using more low-fi technology. I love shitty-sounding records.

To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit

I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.

For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on 'Madden'.

I'm a dirt bag rock and roller. I want to represent that before anything else

Punk rock isn't supposed to be for everyone. There is that sort of private club mentality, which is necessary. It keeps things from getting watered down and boring.

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.

I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.

The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.

That's the gamble that you make when you decide to become a rock musician. It's totally unpredictable.

Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.

I think we have the worst name in rock, I really do. It's the worst name in the world

When all else fails...be a rockstar
