Interviewer: -How do you guys think you'll do in three years?

Billie Joe: -I don't know. You can't always predict what's going to happen three years from now.

Mike: -I can. We'll all have killed each other by then.

Billie Joe: -I'm going to point a gun at Tré. Tré's going to point a gun at Mike. Mike's going to point a gun at me.

Mike: -We're going to count to three and pull the trigger.

 

What do I know about counting? I only have to count to four for my living.
Tré Cool

  
I told Billie, 'Let's just take it as far as we can. Eventually we'll lose all the money
and everything else, anyway. Let's just make sure we have one great big story
at the end.' I think we will. In some ways we already do.

Billie: - What just happened? Are you okay?

Mike: - I'm sorry, I think I broke my nose.

Billie: - The cocaine. It's the cocaine.

I can't think of anything less punk than establishing a set of rules.

Dogs are gonna take over the world.
It's a known fact for those who believe it, kinda like the Bible.
Tré Cool

I look SO beautiful... fuck!
Tré Cool

  
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.
Tré Cool

  
All my religious beliefs are based on Star Wars.

Well, you know, I look at myself in the morning and yes, yeah, I am a God.

Sublime really annoys me. Well the singer does. It’s ok to party, its ok to take drugs

I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons.

Tré talks about the US's action after the WTC bombings:

I object. I object to any killing at all. You know, it's terrible what happened and I think retaliation definitely makes sense and it's definitely one option. But, personally, I prefer peace. You know, maybe I'm just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it's true I'm not running the government, I'm not running the United States. I just don't think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr., said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself.
Tré Cool

 
Satan. Satan, Satan. That's what's different. We're all firm believers in Satan now.
We think Satan is cool. How the fuck do you think a band like Green Day got popular?
Tré Cool

   
I don't understand what Billie just said so, I'll talk about chickens....
Tré Cool

   
A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'.
So he kicks over the garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy'!
Billie Joe Armstrong

I write better when I'm stoned.
Billie Joe Armstrong

It's not how you pick your nose, it's where you put that booger that counts.
Tré Cool

It's better to regret something you have done
than to regret something you haven't done.
Tré Cool
