Green Day Quotations

So make the best of this test and don't ask why, it's not a question but a lesson learned in time. I hope you had the time of you life.

Mike: It's no use analyzing your life the whole time. Those analyses won't help you when you're dead.

Mistakes are a big part of our sound.

Mike: We write music for oursleves. If anyone else likes it, that's great.

(On people like ""St. Jimmy"") A friend of mine was saying how he had a friend, ya know just one of those guys who would fly off the handle and, when they were really young, his parents had this brand new coffee table and he's sitting there, and he just took a knife and wrote ""Eat Sh*t"".

My name is Tre Cool, ....and i snort donut sprinkles,......kind of a sweet drain.

Where ever the soldiers go, there goes the word of God.

when some people talk to me, I can hardly wait for them to shut up. Like shut up, your a moron, I have nothing to say to you" -Billie Joe (my God)

TrŽ: Life is like breakfast you just mix all ingredients cause in your stomach it will all come together.

TrŽ: I told my dad "Yeah Im going to be a drummer" and he said "well you can if you can rub your stomach at the same time as you pat your head at the same time youre standing on one leg and kicking the other one out in a circle and say the pledge of allegiance". And I did all that just like bam you know?

TrŽ: I don't understand a word of what Billie just said, so I will just talk about chickens.

Billie Joe: With the video for Boulevard of Broken Dreams we were going for something a bit like Ladykillers, you know? Pretty and demented at the same time... like me...

Billie-Joe: When someone is in a car accident and they're driving at 100 mph, drunk, who's tape do you think he's listening to at that time? Think about it.

Billie Joe: I hate celebrities. I really hate them.

Billie Joe: Attack your instruments. Don't let them attack you.

Do the things that you f***ing believe in. That's what matters right now.

Drums started to be the only thing I was excited about. School sucked.I was a bad student--too rambunctious, and I never paid attention. But bands were cool. I was totally into being in a band. I liked how bands looked at the awards shows, like the Grammy's, in their little sparkle suits. When you're a little kid, that looks pretty rockin' impressive.

I wanted to be like the guy from Duran Duran. I wanted to play 16th notes and 'four on the floor' so bad. I was listening to punk all day and my uncle used to listen to heavy medal, and I really started paying attention to what the drummers were doing. I didn't get my own set until my dad sprung for a Pearl kit for my thirteenth birthday. I got headphones and a Walkman and I was playing along with The Cars, Zepplin, AC/DC is the best way to learn how to play rock. They're the easiest drum parts ever, like they make you feel like you're king of the world almost right away.

Roll, roll, roll a joint, twist it at the end, light it up and take a puff, pass it to your friend.

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

This is how I'm supposed to be in the land of make believe that don't believe in me.

There's a time in your life where everyone's got to tell someone to f**k off. So you might as well show someone how to do it.

(A strong beilife of Mike and Tre) "One day, dogs are gonna rule the world...

Then Kathy says, 'Rufus!'/ Rufus says, 'Kathy!'/ Chuck says, 'Rufus!'/ Rufus says, 'Chuck!'/ Then Kathy grabs Rufus.

That's a fat dude man... it's like WHOA WATCH OUT!

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life.

I walk a lonely raod the only road that i have ever known.

Never run in the rain with you're socks on

It's weird. I mean, I consider myself kind of an ugly guy.

After the release of Nimrod, Tre's asked what Green Day will never do: We'll never sellout, we'll never sign to a major label, we'll never get played on MTV.

I'm not gonna say anything inspirational, I'm just gonna f***ing swear a lot.

I met Mike in the fifth grade and started making music when we were about twelve, and the first song we ever learnt together was ""Crazy Train"" by Ozzy Osborne.

I'm walking down the lineThat divides me somewhere in my mind.

I need every person in this room to freak out,

If you could see inside my head, then you'd start to understand the things I value in my heart.

I like to smoke a couple of hours before the show, to get in the right mood... I get mad when people are against pot. That's what makes me mad. It should be legalized. Do it! Do it, but don't give the control to the big tobacco companies.

I don't push my drums down; I go through 'em. I use my body as a battering ram. I had some sports therapists yelling at me for not taking better care of my body. I got a concussion bake in Rhode Island--no,that's where I got thrown around by this bouncer. I got the concussion in New York City. The paramedics wanted to take me to the hospital right there. But I was like, 'No, I'm cool. It's not like I'm going to settle down. I thought it was funny. The thing is, I could never afford to just trash my drums like that before, until I got my deal with Slingerland.

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
