More 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."
- "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 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."
