Quotes 

• Michael Mayer : Billie Joe is so famous and he is so careful to protect his family from so many people who want a piece of him...

  Billie Joe Armstrong : I'm lucky to have a cellphone right now.

  Michael Mayer : ...that he's really carved out a very private life for himself and his family - and be involved in a show. The minute you're in a show, you are part of that extended family, for good or bad. For both, right?

• Michael Mayer : Billie Joe went from being moderately interested to getting more intrigued to becoming passionate about what the whole Broadway vibe was; so, by the time I suggested to him that my secret dream was that someday he would play Saint Jimmy, he couldn't... I-I saw a little light behind his eyes, a flicker of excitement. He said, "Oh, really? You think so?" I'm like, "Uh-huh." And the next day he called and said, "Oh, my God, are you serious about this? I'm shitting."
