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.
From Billie Joe Armstrong
Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.
I don't want to live in an ivory tower, being the songwriter who just turns inward.
School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect. But nobody's perfect, so why practice?
A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.
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.
I sort of enjoy the fact that I'm misunderstood most of the time. That's fine.
Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.
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.
I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.
