The process of the making theater interests me. When I heard Green Day, a punk rock band, was going to be doing something on Broadway, it just sounded interesting. I wasn't making this for a Green Day audience, because I didn't come at it from a Green Day point of view. I'm somebody who has introduced to Green Day through this process and found them to be incredible. I wanted to make this film that other people would find the same thing and be introduced to Green Day.

Billie has always said he would rather get an A or an F, he doesn't want anything in between. He knows to create something really new and interesting, you gotta try new and interesting things - not do the same thing over and again. He has this genuine spirit of creation.
