+ A little bit of beer, a little ginseng, a little song, a little dance, we'll be rearin to go.
+ Hey, wait a second. Why is it so bright in here? How is anyone meant to fuck when the lights are on?
+ There's nothing wrong with being a loser it just depends on how good you are at it.
+ Mostly you get it from record company and merchandising people...People coming up to you and trying to bullshit with you all the time thinking that you're like friends or something. It's like No you're not my friend. You never were my friend.
+ Never run in the rain with your socks on.
+ I am the antichrist. Buy some more of me merchandise.
+ There are nice guys trying to be assholes and assholes trying to be nice guys. I'm an asshole trying to be a nice guy.
+ Throw mud at each other... see how many stupid things you can do to each other all at one time.
+ Like in The Grouch. You start to feel like you're getting older, like a parent, like a dad now, but then there's that whole really cool side of it, like, Shit I get to play with toys and watch Saturday morning cartoons. I can't figure anything more fun or childish than that.
+ One night I sank about eight gin and tonics, and I just couldn't stop pissing. In the end, I pissed all over the barbeque.
+ Do you have a problem? I have a gun. I'll shoot you. No more problem.
+ A lot of people said we were using punk rock as a stepping stone to get fame and fortune. People started called it "Gap punk." I didn't feel guilty. I felt like we were probably an introduction to a kid that's going to get into more punk rock music later on, and buy Black Flag records. That's a positive thing. There are a lot of kids now that are really active in the punk rock community, and it has to do with the fact that they got into Dookie.
+ We wanted to kick people's asses. We loved playing festivals because we got to kick bands' asses every single night. There is not a band you can mention that we haven't kicked their ass on stage at one time or another.
+ It [getting naked on stage] usually happens when the shows are sort of mediocre. It like when a show doesn't completely kick ass, you know? And the energy we're getting from the audience isn't too great, and the audience isn't getting good feedback from us. So I give them something to remember--even if it's not very big.
+ This is no longer the Pop Disaster Tour. This is now Ozzfest.
+ You think your life is tough? Try being a parent!
+ I'm not gonna say anything inspirational; I'm just gonna fucking swear a lot.
+ Punk rock's dead, and I fucking killed it.
+ There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
+ A lot of people, when they talk to me, I can't wait for them to shut up. Like, shut up. You're a moron. I have nothing to say, you know?
+ I want to go home and just go for a long walk. And where I want to go, I have no idea.
+ We're just a silly little band from the Berkeley-Bay area.
+ I never thought that being obnoxious would get me where I am now.
+ I sound like an Englishman impersonating an American impersonating an Englishman.
+ We're proud to be a punk band because that's very high-energy music.
+ Mistakes are a big part of our sound.
+ I'm just the same idiot from Rodeo, CA that I was before Dookie came out. So if you see me in the street, come by and say "hi". I guarantee you I'll say "hi" back.
+ I've never had a very high standard of living. Any money I've seen hasn't changed the way I do things at all. The only benefit is that I recently got married, and I can treat my wife the way she deserves to be treated.
+ They have bad taste. I am NOT a good-looking guy.
+ We're just a silly band called Green Day, and we're from no place special, just like no one else on this fucking planet.
+ That's a big guy... much bigger than me... but I'm working on it.
+ Yeah fuck me! I wish all of you could fuck me!
+ We've gone through a lot to get here, but it's been fun.
+ I'm an asshole, I'm a jerk, I'm a twerp, I'm a flea bit butt.
+ We can play anywhere at anytime.
+ Aw shit! God damn! Aw shit! Ah fuck! Ah fuckin shit fuck shit fuck! Stick that up your ass FCC!
+ What? You can heckle me if you want, it's okay I won't understand!
+ This song is dedicated to everyone in 69 - this song's called Burnout
+ Throw mud at each other... see how many stupid things you can do to each other all at one time.
+ That's a fat dude man... it's like WHOA WATCH OUT!
+ This song's off our album. It's called Kerplunk. It's kind of in line with the shit thing, ya know, it's like you take a dookie and it kerplunks in the toilet.
+ Practice makes perfect but nobody's perfect so why practice?
+ This song is about forgetting what you're gonna say because of heavy drug abuse.
+ Aw shit! It's Ka-Ka! Poo-poo! Shit! It's shit! It's shit! Shit... I hate God! Shit!!
+ I fuckin' hate Lynyrd Skynyrd, I've always hated Lynyrd Skynyrd. Fuckin' backwards ass hillbilly shit!
+ Apathy rules, fuck everyone!
+ There are bands out there that have used certain catch phrases in their songs that end up rendering the songs obsolete. We've always avoided that.
+ Though the songs may be simple, we pack them with as much emotion and passion as we possibly can. CAlling the songs "simple" is almost an injustice; they're simple in terms of consisting of only 3, 4 or 5 chords, but that doesn't mean the end result is diminished in any way. I think of the analogy of a painter who has 25 colors on his palette but only uses a few to paint a masterpiece. I think that's a pretty difficult task.
+ Christmas . . .I kind of stopped getting presents after my father died and stuff, because that's like our main source of income. And my mom was a waitress, so, we just learned to accept -- the rest of my family -- we just learned to accept it. We didn't get extravagant gifts or anything like that, but we never really cared. It was always sort of...We just had fun. My family knows how to party, so it was no big deal, you know?
+ You can rationalize taking a shit in a mailbox...it doesn't mean it was the right thing to do.
+ AW SHIT!!! I mean I broke a string.
+ Who's the asshole that's singing? (while showing the video "Waiting")
+ I've been wearing the same pants since I was seventeen
+ If you can actually remember a good prank, then it never happened
+ That's a big guy...bigger than me, but I'm working on it.
+ No my name is really Billie. Billie, B-I-L-L-I-E J-O-E. My real name is Billie Joe. And it's southern, my moms from Oklahoma and that's how I got the name.
+ Well, Tre says Warning. My warn-my-my- my warning. Hehehe uh, my favorite right now actually is Insomniac.
+ If you wanna come out and say, 'Play Pulling Teeth' We'll probably say, 'Hm, no. We're gonna play Holden Caulfield instead.'
+ I think he's slightly afraid of us 'cause he actually won't come over and talk to us. Every time he shakes our hand, that's the closest we've ever some to him.(Letterman)
+ All I gotta say is like if you put every single army and all their weapons together in like one space outside the US, the US army and nav-the US military service, ten times the amount of what's going on in the rest of the world combined. So if you don't wanna join the army, you don't have to.
+ Well, you know, I look at myself in the morning and yes, yeah I-I am a god.
+ Just one quack-qua-qua bla bla bla-were your parents hippies?
+ Oh, yeah, I think we're gonna be doing a Green Day comic book.
+ I think Green Day action figures would be pretty cool.
+ And what's your second question?
+ Basically the record company blew it.
+ I don't know...never mind!
+ Well, I think, that why don't they do it twice a day? (worshiping Billie)
+ That is not a comic strip!
+ I open up my mouth and out it comes.
+ It's always Tre's fault!
+ Well, we don't really have a set list, so what do you want to hear?
+ I thought it all up in my head. God, I know. Genius, right?
+ The kid is set up for the rest of his life. (About his son, Jacob Danger Armstrong)
+ So you're like, 'These guys are absolutely out of their minds.'
+ This is a total wuss record.(talking about Warning)
+ I want to go home and just go for a long walk. And where I want to go, I have no idea.
+ Alternative? Alternative to what? This is as mainstream as it gets!
+ We've been through alot to get here, but it's been fun.
+ What? You can heckle me if you want it's ok I won't understand.
+ That's a fat dude man... it's like woah watch out!
+ School is practice for the future and practice makes perfect and nobodys perfect, so why practice?
+ Im a fucking idiot.
+ Anyways who cares? What were you asking?
