“It's my fucking life and - you know what? - nobody invited you... so there's the door.”
Billie Joe Armstrong
“If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.”
Gerard Way
“Be yourself, don't take anyone's shit, and never let them take you alive.”
“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.”
Green Day
“You gotta stick your neck out and put out a record that isn't safe... that's the Green Day way!”
Tre Cool
“[Green Day avoided flying into Miami because the group was already in the city this week to play a show on its] American Idiot ... We sat and watched the whole thing as all hell broke loose.”
“just cause? just cause because we're outlaws”
