yeah. everything they say is a funny or amazing quote.
Here are some Billie said about Adie:
"She's inspired me to write songs and taught me how to compromise,"
"Adrienne and I are comfortable with the fact that I have a past. She's got a past, too. She was engaged, had boyfriends, had flings, and I'm comfortable with that - otherwise, I wouldn't be married to her. She's the only woman I'll ever love."
"I saw this woman that had blonde black dreadlocks...and she was just beautiful." [On the first time Billie Joe laid eyes on Adrienne]
"Getting married was a wild thing we decided to do overnight, but the reason we did it still remains the same. Adrienne's one of the sweetest people on the planet."
"She would take a human sexuality class, and she started talking to me about this class, and for a kid that's 18, some women's about 20/21 years old talking to you about her human sexuality class...well, our conversation has got pretty long." [on their phone conversations]
"I wanna get older. I wanna improve at age. I wanna be a man, I wanna be an adult. I don't wanna be some 40 year old child. I don't think my wife wants a child either, you know. And my kids don't want a child...they want a father. And uh, that's what I'm gonna try to be."
"I want to hold a koala or something like that - me and my wife are going to hold a little bear monkey."
“My mom's here tonight, her and my father had sex and they made me and my vocal chords. My wife's also here, her name's Adrienne, I've been married to her for seven years. We have sex too and we have kids that have vocal chords as well."
"Then we went to the Claremont hotel, and we fucked like bunnies." [about after the wedding]
“The next day Adrienne says that she’s been feeling weird lately, so we stopped at Safeway and picked up a pregnancy test. We're at home waiting for the results and each wanting the other one to go check. Finally I said 'Fuck it,' and went into the room. Sure enough, we had the big purple line. It was so bold, just staring me in the face. Purple! Baby! I walked out and said, 'Hi, Mom,' I was glowing. I said, 'Are you happy?" and she said, 'Yeah, totally, are you?' And I said, 'Yeah, totally.'" [on discovering Adie was pregnant]
"I have a really strong bond with my wife and I’m really proud to say that, and because we have that bond, it's actually become more of a pleasure."
"It can be really difficult holding a family together and doing this, but luckily my wife understands,"
“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 got married, and I can treat my wife the way she deserves to be treated.”
“It's a song about when you're in a long term relationship with somebody, you have to keep reinventing it, and it takes a lot of compromise, and the person that you married or the person that you're with a year or two down the line -- there are a lot of different sides to them that you have to come to recognize or be sensitive to that you never knew were there before. And likewise, 'cause I'm sure with my wife, there are a lot of sides of me that she didn't quite expect.”
[when asked if he had an open marriage] “No. Absolutely, no way.”
"I'm not interested in groupies. I have to say, I've never been with a groupie in my entire life. I got married really young."
[asked if he'd ever been with a groupie] Besides getting married to one?
"The funny thing is that I wouldn't be in a band if I wasn't doing it with my family. It seems like I wouldn't want to buy into the cliche of being a rock star and having chicks and drugs around. For me the fact that I can share it with someone is better than doing it alone."
[Asked if Adrienne gets mad when he gets naked] "Yeah, she sometimes gets mad. She's quite territorial about me in that way, and I'm the same with her."
[when asked why he has one sleeve rolled up and the other down?][pointing to his photostrip tattoo] "Because I love her and I am proud of her"
"If anything, anything at all would ever happen to her (Adie), I'd die of a broken heart, or better yet, kill myself so I could be with her."
"I am not really into groupies as I have a wonderful wife to keep me company."
"Armstrong is the kind of rock star who, when 5 A.M., rolls around, starts talking not about shagging groupies but about the beauty Adrienne, his wife of eleven years. He kneels in the aisle and sings an a capella love song he recently wrote for her." [Rolling Stone]
